Here's a good example:
public abstract interface com.vmware.vim.VimPortType extends java.rmi.Remote
{
// Method descriptor #107
(Lcom/vmware/vim/ManagedObjectReference;Ljava/lang/String;)Lcom/vmware/vim/ManagedObjectReference;
public abstract com.vmware.vim.ManagedObjectReference
findByInventoryPath(com.vmware.vim.ManagedObjectReference arg0,
java.lang.String arg1) throws java.rmi.RemoteException,
com.vmware.vim.RuntimeFault;
// bunch more abstract methods
}
When I looked up com.vmware.vim.RuntimeFault, I found the following:
http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/net.java.dev.vcc.thirdparty/vi-api/4.0.0-4/com/vmware/vim/RuntimeFault.java
It extends a class called MethodFault, which extends Object. There is no
Throwable in the hierarchy yet findByInventoryPath (above) throws it.
I don't understand this.
