Description Eugen Paraschiv CLA 2011-04-28 05:06:52 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

A compiler warning for the following case would be very helpfull: 
void method() throws IOException, FileNotFoundException {...}
Because FileNotFoundException extends IOException, the declaration of FileNotFoundException is redundant and should be flaged as such. 

Reproducible: Always

Don't expect to get to this enhancement in 3.8 time frame.
