Please consider this proposal to add `@throws FileAlreadyExistsException` or modify an existing such throws clause's description in a number of methods in `java.nio.file.Files`, `java.nio.file.spi.FileSystemProvider`, and `java.nio.channels.FileChannel`. The methods affected are `open()` in `FileChannel` and various `new*()` methods in `Files` and `FileSystemProvider`. The `Files.newByteChannel()` methods already documented this exception so this would bring the other methods in line.
A `FileAlreadyExistsException` is an optional specific exception, i.e., a subclass of `IOException` intended to provide a more precise description of the error. The package specification of `java.nio.file` describes optional specific exceptions but those of the other two packages do not. If these exceptions are to be added to the `FileChannel` and `FileSystemProvider` classes, then perhaps a similar paragraph (or a link) should be added to their respective package specifications as well.
The change to `java.nio.channels.AsynchronousFileChannel` is an incidental correction.
