I've just spent eight hours tracking down what appears to be a limit on the
number of exceptions in a 'throws' clause when the offending method is in a
.NET library. GRRR!!!!

I was getting an error like:
 ThrowLimit1.jsl(11,6): error VJS1161: Cannot find class ''

At a minimum, a much better error message would have helped immensely!
Further, the error wasn't reported for the offending method but rather for
the method that referenced it.

And is this restriction documented anywhere?
