Question

Eclipse complains about my catch statement below

public class NaturalLanguageMultiply
{
    public class WrongMultiplierException extends Exception
    {

    }

    private static int toInt( String number ) throws WrongMultiplierException 
    {
        // removed for clarity
                try
               {
                    String numberKey = scanner.next();
                    if ( numberMap.containsKey( numberKey ) )
                    {
                        multiplier += ( Integer ) numberMap.get( numberKey );
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        throw new WrongMultiplierException();
                    }
                }

It complains about the following catch line:

Syntax error on tokens

                catch ( WrongMultiplierException );
                {

                }
            }

Also, why does StackOverflow keep asking:Your post does not have much context to explain the code sections; please explain your scenario more clearly. I cannot find the answer in the FAQ or Help.
