How can I throw an exception for the whole class instead of doing it method by method

java exception-handling throws

I'm writing a program in Java, and nearly every method in one of my classes is written like:

public void doStuff() throws AWTException{}

Is there a way for me to get rid of the extra step of typing throws AWTException for each method, and somehow do it for the entire class?

Sorry, No. There is no way to do this in Java.
