[EC63] [Java] Rule "The variable exception is not assigned" irrelevant ?

[dedece35]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The java rule The variable exception is not assigned with id cnumr-java:S63 isn't really "good" for our society becasue the argument to change delete the variable is not relevant. try-catch statement in Java language use a temporary variable in catchstatement. Please see followed captures :

Describe the solution you'd like

• for the moment, this rule is disabled in our SonarQube
• check why this rule is relevant in our plugin

what is your point of view @glalloue, @jules-delecour-dav, @jhertout, @olegoaer, @mdubois81 ?

For this case, since we are forced to do that because of the language itself, maybe we should:

• ignore the "try catch" case for this rule.
• create a specific rule for the "try catch" case ? (to be able to deactivate only this case if we want)
