When the class defines a method that throws an exception, but not document it with @throws or @exception, Javadoc attempts to create a throws reference. This is an excellent feature.

But it also creates a redundant 'blank' reference below the earlier said one. This should be removed.

Consider the following program
==============================
public class test
{
        public void doNothing () throws myException
        {
        }

}

class myException extends Exception
{
}


Use merlin-rc1, and do
javadoc -private test.java


Observe the result at
test.html#doNothing()
