JDK-4317583 - stddoclet: Inherited @throws improperly copies from overridden method to subclas
Description
There is an extra "throws: " tag in close() method in CharArrayReader and
CharArrayWriter. Also there needs to be some explanation why close() in
CharArrayReader and CharArrayWriter does not throw IOException, like their super
classes Reader and Writer do.
Comments
EVALUATION Turns out that the comments are not due to an extra @throws tag, but rather, because javadoc is incorrectly copying the tag description from super to subclass. This is a known bug inthe javadoc tool itself. This documentation bug should clear itself up once the fix is made in the javadoc tool. scott.hommel@eng 2000-10-19
