Tiny update to Improved Exception Handling: @SuppressWarnings (original) (raw)

If the suggestion to remove the requirement that catch blocks are
reachable is accepted, I suggest such code should still generate a
warning. You can put @SuppressWarnings on the exception block, like so:

try { int x = 5 + 5; } catch ( @SuppressWarnings("unreachable") IOException
iDontOccurInTryBlock) { //whatever }

Perhaps the notion that the compiler will presume that annotation is
referring to the catch block should be added to the proposal.

this).
