design SignatureDeclareThrowsException (PMD)

A method/constructor shouldn't explicitly throw java.lang.Exception

It is unclear which exceptions that can be thrown from the methods. It might be difficult to document and understand the vague interfaces. Use either a class derived from RuntimeException or a checked exception.

                
public void methodThrowingException() throws Exception {
}
