Description
When an @exception tag has an exception class name but no explanatory text, 
javadoc throws a warning message but doesn't place anything pertaining to 
the exception in the html file.

It would be better if, in addition to issuing a warning, javadoc placed the 
a link to the exception class in the html file, even if the @exception tag 
doesn't have a text explanation.

EVALUATION Probably should place in throws section if exception is thrown but there is no tag at all. robert.field@Eng 1998-07-06 I have verified that the @throws appears in the API output, both for the 1.3.1 javadoc and the one to appear in 1.4. Therefore this must be a standard doclet issue. neal.gafter@Eng 2001-02-27 The original request is different from what Robert is asking for above. This boils down to a request to add an exception class link in the throws section in either of two cases: (1) there a @throws tag but no text accompanies the tag (2) if an exception is declared but there is no @throws tag Neal says above that the second case can be done. doug.kramer@Eng 2001-06-29 This bug has been fixed.
