Interface ExceptionsAttribute

All Superinterfaces:
Attribute<ExceptionsAttribute>, ClassFileElement, MethodElement
public sealed interface ExceptionsAttribute extends Attribute<ExceptionsAttribute>, MethodElement
Models the Exceptions attribute (JVMS 4.7.5), which records the exceptions declared to be thrown by this method.

This attribute only appears on methods, and does not permit multiple instances in a method. It has a data dependency on the constant pool.

The attribute was introduced in the Java Platform version 1.0.2, major version 45.

API Note:
Generic exceptions types thrown by a method and potentially annotated use of those types are defined by SignatureAttribute and RuntimeVisibleTypeAnnotationsAttribute respectively, which requires this attribute to be present.
