Step 3

Just to prove the import of IOException is useless.
Comment 4 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2006-12-19 10:49:05 EST 
The import of IOExeception is not useless, it is required to correctly generate Javadoc. Configure Java > Compiler > Javadoc > Malfomed Javadoc comments to see warnings for Javadoc as well.

If you don't like that either don't use Javadoc comments or turn processing Javadoc off (not recommended)
Comment 5 Jerry Mising name CLA 2006-12-19 20:28:39 EST 
Then it's better to mark the "IOException" in comment in Step 3.

BTW, the status of Java > Compiler > Javadoc > Malfomed Javadoc comments is "ignore" by default.
Comment 6 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2006-12-22 04:09:22 EST 
Yes, you have to set it to Warning. I agree that it would be better to have 'Warning' as default. I filed bug 168925 for this.

Setting this bug to invalid.
