Review request for 6857803 Missing links to exceptions in javadoc for Class.getGeneric{Superclass, Interfaces}

[Joe Darcy]

Hello.

Below is a simple patch for JDK 7 to fix a minor javadoc problem in 
java.lang.Clas.  The javadoc for methods getGenericSuperclass and 
getGenericInterfaces make @throws reference to two exceptions in the 
java.lang.reflect package; these exceptions don't get rendered as links 
in the HTML output because they are in a different package.  The fix is 
to add the package qualification; importing the exceptions would have 
worked too, but the imports are not needed by the code in java.lang.Class.

Thanks,

-Joe
