[Bug java/20312] New: No warning on bad method

[davidw at dedasys dot com]

Hi, in the Hecl programming language, I do this:

    public String toString() throws HeclException {
	Vector v = ListThing.get(new Thing(new HashThing(val)));
	ListThing newthing = new ListThing(v);
	return newthing.toString();
    }

Apparently, that should generate a warning or throw an error, because toString
isn't supposed to throw an exception...  "regular" java says this:

./com/dedasys/hecl/HashThing.java:140: toString() in com.dedasys.hecl.HashThing
cannot override toString() in java.lang.Object; overridden method does not throw
com.dedasys.hecl.HeclException
    public String toString() throws HeclException {
                  ^

Thanks,
Dave
