Reports methods that declare an inappropriate exception in their throws clause. For example an exception can be inappropriate because it is overly generic, such as java.lang.Exception or java.lang.Throwable.

Example:


  void describeModule(String module) throws Exception {} // warning: Prohibited exception 'Exception' declared

Configure the inspection:

Use the Prohibited exceptions list to specify which exceptions should be reported.
Use the Ignore exceptions declared on methods overriding a library method option to ignore exceptions declared by methods that override a library method.
