SignatureDeclareThrowsException

It is unclear which exceptions that can be thrown from the methods. It might be difficult to document and understand the vague interfaces. Use either a class derived from RuntimeException or a checked exception.

This rule is defined by the following Java class: net.sourceforge.pmd.rules.strictexception.ExceptionSignatureDeclaration

Example:

                
                
public void methodThrowingException() throws Exception {
}
