Hello.
I've noticed that method 'long java.util.Date.parse(String)' doesn't
have a reference to IllegalArgumentException in its javadoc.
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Date.html#parse(java.lang.String)
But this exception is thrown in implementation.

I know that this method is deprecated, but it still is used within JDK
code itself.
Is it intentional that exception is not documented in this method?
