Description Tim Ellison CLA 2001-11-01 05:10:45 EST 
Sure would be good if the code assist was smart about the exceptions that could 
be thrown from a try block, and only offer those in a code assist in the 
corresponding catch statement.  The compiler sure warns that an exception is 
not caught, or cannot be caught from a particular try block.

e.g.,
  try {
    myinfputStream.read();
  } catch (

bringing up assist after the "catch (" should offer a list headed by checked 
exceptions from the try block.

This would require a change in the completion engine. Currently it does not even 
resolve the statements inside the catch block (they got optimized out).

Will keep in mind, but not for now.

Either this approach or the relevance one would be ok.

This feature exists in 3.3. Fixed in a previous build.
