There are 'correct' uses of try / catch blocks, and exceptions in the Java language.  You might be able to get away with avoiding using them in your own code, but the standard library throws things, so you can't completely avoid ignoring them.

If you want to enforce a coding standard which eschews them, that's fine, but I don't think it makes sense (otherwise) to make a blanket statement against their use.
