Main method throwing specific Exception

[bugger]

The following signature of main method works fine.

          public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

When I try to use some specific Exception, main method throws exception.

	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

Exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: 
	IOException cannot be resolved to a type

Hello bugger

I find this very strange, but unfortunately I can't help you. I just want to know why you want your main() method to throw exceptions. You should catch and handle them ultimately in your main() method if you keep throwing them. ;)

This works okay.

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws java.io.IOException {
        
    }
}

Yeah, whenever you see "(something) cannot be resolved to a type" you didn't import it, or it doesn't exist.

ofcourse import is the solution or use fully qualified name
