(Possibly unrelated to this PR.) This kind of inconsistency in naming is
surprising. Even more surprising is the fact that these two resources live in
different files. While `ExceptionClasses` lives in doclet.properties,
`Annotation_Types` lives in standard.properties. To confuse things even
further, `AnnotationType` and `ExceptionClass` live in the same file,
doclet.properties.

Would it be clearer if we changed that to this?
return typeUtils.isSubtype(te.asType(), getThrowableType();
Where `getThrowableType()` is defined as:
public TypeMirror getThrowableType() {
return getSymbol("java.lang.Throwable");
}
