Possible compiler error detecting whether or not an exception is ever thrown by a method [message #154562]

The Eclipse compiler erroneously reports a warning that the declared
IOException is not actually thrown by the following function (if I
follow its advice and remove the declaration, javac reports an error).
It looks like the condition is that an exception is re-thrown in its
catch block.

private byte[] getSomeBytes(InputStream in, long length)
throws IOException
{
DataInputStream din = new DataInputStream(in);
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)length];
try {
din.readFully(bytes);
} catch (IOException ex) {
MessageHandler.error(ex);
throw ex;
} finally {
return bytes;
}
}

Adam,

Thanks for your suggestion. I'm new to the group and didn't know
where else to post.
