Exceptions when using reflections crunched to RuntimeException

[michaelhglass]

While working on the codacy PMD issues, I recognize that we currently seem to avoid having checked exceptions when using reflections by catching them and throwing unchecked raw RuntimeException. An example can be found in org.opt4j.core.Genotype newInstance() and then considering the implementation of the interface in org.opt4j.core.genotype.IntegerGenotype.
What's your opinion on how to address this? Obviously, we want to back out anyway in case the newInstance() function throws any of the checked exceptions and just choosing an unchecked Exception that is not raw RuntimeException may also be considered artificial PMD appeasement. :-)
