Description Stanimir Stamenkov CLA 2002-06-20 22:54:57 EDT 
When trying to surround the following statement:

int number = Integer.parseInt(strValue);

where strValue is of type String, with try/catch block Eclipse reports "No
uncaught exceptions are thrown by the selected code. Catch
java.lang.RuntimeException ?". Looking at the Integer.parseInt() method
declaration it is seen that NumberFormatException is declared in its throws
clause and I think Eclipse should build try/catch block for that exception
although it is RuntimeException. I checked that
java.lang.reflect.Method.getExceptionTypes() returns NumberFormatException in
the resulted Class[].
