I'd rather use a checked exception (one that that must be thrown or caught by the 
calling method/function), since it does a better job at communicating behaviour to 
the developer.

In addition, I would avoid NPEs as much as possible, since they communicate only 
that a reference is used without being checked in the body of the method.
