Description




> java -version
java version "1.3.0rc1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0rc1-T)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0rc1-S, interpreted mode)


The PrintWriter class doc in the JDK doc download states that the three
overloaded write() methods:
  write(int c)
  write(char[] buf,int start,int end)
  write(String str,int start,int end)

all throw IOException - but of course they don't.

There is currently a bug in the javadoc tool itself (4317583) that causes improper copying of @throws tag from super to sub class spec, and that's what's happening here.  Since the cause of the bug is javadoc, and not the source file, I'm closing this as a duplicate of 4317583. When javadoc gets its bug fix, this documentation problem will vanish.
