Works for me. If the check option is enabled, then overriding/implementing 
methods are checked as well, if not, they are ignored.

I think, I got the option's sense wrong. But now, another option is missing to 
me. I thought that the 'Check overriding' option would be what I am missing 
now.

Please look at the following two classes ClassA and ClassB:

public class ClassA {
    protected void foo() throws IOException {}
}

public class ClassB extends ClassA {
    protected void foo() throws IOException {
        throw new IOException();
    }
}

foo() in ClassA needs to have the 'throws' clause because foo() in ClassB has 
a 'throws' clause and ClassB extends ClassA.

Thus, the 'throws' clause in ClassA is NOT unnecessary and no warning or error 
should be shown. There could be an option for this - the one I said I was 
missing.

See bug 44876#c2 for explanation of current behavior.
