Let's have three source files:

//Test1.java
public class Test1 extends Test2 implements Test3 {
}

//Test2.java
public class Test2 {
    public void test() throws Exception {
        throw new Exception();
    }
}

//Test3.java
public interface Test3 {
    public void test();
}

In my opinion, the compiler should report an
error, because Test1.test() (inherited from Test2)
throws Exception, even though it should not
(because it implements Test3).

When I compiled with JDK 1.1.3 javac, I got no
error messages.

I feel this is a serious problem because
in some circumstances some completely unexcpected
exceptions may occur in application, that should
have been caught early in some library.

I have faced the problem in development of a real
application.
