Hello.
Please review my simple fix below for 6468534 "(reflect) Exception types
cannot be parameterized, rephrase getGenericExceptionTypes."
As documented in the JLS, "It is a compile-time error if a generic class
is a direct or indirect subclass of |Throwable|."
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/classes.html#8.1.2
Therefore, it is at most vacuously true for the {Constructor,
Method}.getGenericExceptionTypes to state "If an exception type is a
parameterized type..." and it would be clearer if this text were deleted.
