Thanks, I've added `@throws IOException if an error occurs` to all methods 
throwing `IOException`.

For the record, let me state my personal (rather strong) opinion:

I think this a pretty crazy level of boilerplate noise for a test and that it 
affects readability negatively. My IDE (IntelliJ) does not complain about this 
at all. Any IDE which complains should be fixed or configured to not complain. 
Changing Javadoc to complain about this in a scope like this  would be a poor 
decision.

I think the PR is ready to be sponsored after this.
