java\awt\menu.java (358)

The 'throws' spec for java.awt.Menu.writeObject is
incorrect according to the Java Language Specification.
The class 'java.lang.ClassNotFoundException' *IS NOT*
an unchecked exception. The Sun javac compiler has
a bug because an unchecked exception is by definition
any class derived from 'java.lang.Error' or
'java.lang.RuntimeException'. ClassNotFoundException
is not a subclass of either of these classes.

Further support:

11.5.1.2 in the JLS explicitly states that ClassNotFoundException
is a checked exception class.
