Reducing "exception is never thrown in body of corresponding try statement" Error to a Warning

[Mike Duigou]

Hello again;

Hearing no specific objections to my prior suggestion 
(https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2019-October/003480.html) 
to tweak compilation of checked exceptions by reducing the "exception is 
never thrown in body of corresponding try statement" compilation error 
to a non-fatal warning I am going to proceed with creating a JIRA issue 
and proceeding with proposing a changeset to the compiler-dev list.

I do agree with the sentiment that this change is of somewhat limited 
value. It is, I believe, useful and incrementally an improvement upon 
existing behaviour and worth pursuing in absence of grander proposals.

Cheers,


Mike
