Bug 117530

[ BUILD # : 200709141330 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_02 ]

Given a case where one is calling a method that throws an exception
and the IDE suggests generating a try, catch block as a quick fix,
the generated try, catch block is greedy and surrounds way more code
that is necessary with the try, catch block.

Steps to Reproduce
------------------
1) Create a class with the following source.
import java.io.IOException;

public class GreedyTryCatch {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("a");
        System.out.println("b");
        System.out.println("c");
        doSomething();
        System.out.println("d");
        System.out.println("e");
        System.out.println("f");
    }
    
    public static void doSomething() throws IOException {
        throw new IOException();
    }

}
2) Click the editor hint regarding the unreported exception that must
be caught or thrown and select the "Surround with try-catch" option.
The main method will now look like this:
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            System.out.println("a");
            System.out.println("b");
            System.out.println("c");
            doSomething();
            System.out.println("d");
            System.out.println("e");
            System.out.println("f");
        } catch (IOException ex) {
           
Logger.getLogger(GreedyTryCatch.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE,
null, ex);
        }
    }

Note how the try catch surrounds all of the println statements and
not just the call to the doSomething method. This isn't a big deal in
this small example, but when you have a larger block of code and
multiple levels of loops and nesting, it makes the quick fix
virtually unusable.

The easy solution, in my opinion would be to only surround the code
that is required to be surrounded with the try, catch block.

The better solution, in my opinion, is to do the easy solution by
default, but to check whether the developer has highlighted a block
of code, and if so, surround whatever block he has highlighted with
the try, catch block.
