Mike,

Given that you are proposing to change JLS[1], I think  you should get acceptance for the proposal before you embark on creating javac changsets.

Specifically I am proposing the removal of the following section from JLS 11.2.3

Hello again;

Hearing no specific objections to my prior suggestion (https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2019-October/003480.html) to tweak compilation of checked exceptions by reducing the "exception is never thrown in body of corresponding try statement" compilation error to a non-fatal warning I am going to proceed with creating a JIRA issue and proceeding with proposing a changeset to the compiler-dev list. I do agree with the sentiment that this change is of somewhat limited value. It is, I believe, useful and incrementally an improvement upon existing behaviour and worth pursuing in absence of grander proposals. Cheers,

Mike
