When selecting an exception in the editor (catch-clause, throws-clause), the methods, which declare to throw that exception or one of its subclasses, should be highlighted. (See Eclipse)
It seems to work now (6.8, 6.9) for throws-clauses, but not yet for catch-clauses.
Fixed in jet-main. http://hg.netbeans.org/jet-main/rev/db914e320247
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201007140001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/db914e320247 User: Dusan Balek <dbalek@netbeans.org> Log: Issue #168912: selecting exceptions in catches should highlight methods - fixed.
