Hi,

Although it is possible to change the method parameters of a mehtod, it is not
possible to change the 'throws' clause, which would be very handy as well.

I would really love to see this enhancement.

It is not clear to me how this enhancement should work. Changing (adding or removing) a throws clause can hardly be automated, as it needs new (or remove old) logic about what should happen when the exception is thrown. Changing the type of a throws clause gives similar problems.

Changing to wontfix
