Bug 82311 [correction] Add '@throws' tag does not insert the exception type name
Version: 3.1.0 Build id: 200412210800 When you have javadoc compiler checks turned on and have a method like the following the quick fix to add a throws tag does not insert the name of the exception. The add all missing tags quick fix does add the exception type so the information should be available. I did figure out that the change was simple, but wasn't really sure how to create a copy of an existing ast node (the name of the exception is in "missingNode"). JavadocTagsSubProcessor.AddMissingJavadocTagProposal#insertMissingJavadocTag: after creating the throws tag ( newTag.setTagName(TagElement.TAG_THROWS) ) a simple name has to be added ( newTag.fragments().add(<SimpleNameNode>) )
org.eclipse.jdt.ui/ui/org/eclipse/jdt/internal/ui/text/correction/JavadocTagsSubProcessor.java
newTag.fragments().add(text);
				List params;
				if (bodyDecl instanceof TypeDeclaration) {
					params= ((TypeDeclaration) bodyDecl).typeParameters();
				} else {
					params= ((MethodDeclaration) bodyDecl).typeParameters();
				}
				insertTag(tagsRewriter, newTag, getPreviousTypeParamNames(params, typeParam));
		 	} else if (location == MethodDeclaration.RETURN_TYPE2_PROPERTY) {
				newTag= ast.newTagElement();
				newTag.setTagName(TagElement.TAG_RETURN);
				insertTag(tagsRewriter, newTag, null);
		 	} else if (location == MethodDeclaration.THROWN_EXCEPTIONS_PROPERTY) {
				newTag= ast.newTagElement();
				newTag.setTagName(TagElement.TAG_THROWS);
				List exceptions= ((MethodDeclaration) bodyDecl).thrownExceptions();
				insertTag(tagsRewriter, newTag, getPreviousExceptionNames(exceptions, missingNode));
		 	} else {
		 		Assert.isTrue(false, "AddMissingJavadocTagProposal: unexpected node location"); 
		 		return;
		 	}
		 	
			TextElement textElement= ast.newTextElement();
			textElement.setText(""); 
			newTag.fragments().add(textElement);
			addLinkedPosition(rewrite.track(textElement), false, "comment_start"); 
		}
	}
