It might also be broken earlier but this is the first code snippet I've seen 
with the problem.

This code compiles fine with javac, but I get these errors.
Severity	Description	Resource	In Folder	Location
	Creation Time
2	Cannot use the parameterized type Test.Ex1 either in catch block or 
throws clause	Test.java	fooey/src	line 14	February 11, 2005

2	si cannot be resolved	Test.java	fooey/src	line 16

As you can see it's only in the case of the "static" exception - not the bound 
inner one.


% cat Test.java
public class Test<E>
 {
    public static final class Ex1 extends Exception
    {
        private static final long serialVersionUID = 1;
    }

    private void a1()
    {
        try
        {
            a1_1();
        }
        catch (Ex1 si)
        {
            assert si != null;
        }
    }

    protected Object a1_1() throws Ex1
    {
        return null;
    }

    private void a2()
    {
        try
        {
            a2_1();
        }
        catch (Ex2 si)
        {
            assert si != null;
        }
    }

    protected Object a2_1() throws Ex2
    {
        return null;
    }

    public final class Ex3 extends Exception
    {
        private static final long serialVersionUID = 1;
    }

    private void a3()
    {
        try
        {
            a3_1();
        }
        catch (Ex3 si)
        {
            assert si != null;
        }
    }

    protected Object a3_1() throws Ex3
    {
        return null;
    }

}

final class Ex2 extends Exception
{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1;
}
