_Remove unnecessary throws declarations. This recipe will only remove unused, checked exceptions if:

  • The declaring class or the method declaration is final.

  • The method declaration is static or private.

  • The method overrides a method declaration in a super class and the super class does not throw the exception.

  • The method is public or protected and the exception is not documented via a JavaDoc as a @throws tag._
