When typing the "throws" of a method declaration and using code assist to pick the correct Throwable class, the code assist shows ALL classes that match the letters you've entered. This is incorrect. You can only declare Throwable and its subclasses. The code assist list should filter out all other classes. Example: public void calculate(String value) throws Num In the above example, if the cursor is sitting right after the "Num" and you press CTRL-Space, you get the code assist list that contains all classes like "Number", however code assist should be smart enough to know that the Number class is not a subclass of Throwable, and therefore is not a valid selection given the context.
if the subtype hierarchy of Throwable computation is too expensive, could we use the relevance support to give types ending with Exception, Error, Failure a higher relevance in this context?
Relevance for exception types should already be in (type name ending with Exception or Error). David - please double check
Relevance for exception types is already in. With this test case all the classes are in code assist list and "NumberFormatException" is on the top of this list. The sorting can be different if the code assist preference 'Present proposals in alphabeticla order' is enabled. Closing.
Verified.
