Checked Exceptions do not exist on the JVM.

[Tom Ball]

I don't understand your point -- this is a test that is supposed to fail,
and it does (now).  Here is its comment, which also runs the jtreg test
runner:

/*
 * @test
 * @bug 4053998
 * @summary Compiler used to not notice the uncaught checked exception.
 * @author turnidge
 *
 * @compile/fail UncaughtException.java
 */
