[jira] Commented: (MPCHECKSTYLE-20) Unable to get class information for custom exceptions

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPCHECKSTYLE-20?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=143868#action_143868 ] 

Seth Gottlieb commented on MPCHECKSTYLE-20:
-------------------------------------------

I have had this problem (using Ant) too and setting the path did not fix.  It appears that the issue is that it cannot handle multiple @throws.  I had @throws ServletException, IOException.  When I changed it to just ServletException it worked fine.  The major hint for me was that the error message had a comma on the end: 'Unable to get class information for @throws tag 'javax.servlet.ServletException,'

> checkstyle reports an error "Unable to get class information" for custom exceptions within the same project.  it is able to load exceptions that are listed as dependencies for the project, but not for other exceptions.  one workaround is to only use throws Exception in the signiture, but that's really a hack.
