<overview>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A public method or constructor that throws an exception but
|
|
does not have a Javadoc tag for the exception makes an API more difficult to understand and maintain.
|
|
This includes checked exceptions in <code>throws</code> clauses and unchecked exceptions that are
|
|
explicitly thrown in <code>throw</code> statements.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
</overview>
|
|
<recommendation>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Javadoc comment for a method or constructor should include a Javadoc tag element that
|
|
describes each thrown exception.</p>
|
|
|
|
</recommendation>
|
|
<example>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following example shows a good Javadoc comment, which clearly explains the method's
|
|
thrown exception.</p>
