Declare an interface with gen-interface that throws an Exception ?

I'm trying to replicate a Java interface using gen-interface, which has some Java classes implementing it where they define their overrides as throws Exception. But I do not know how in Clojure to specify that in the signature?

Example:

public class Someclass implements MyInterface {
  public void perform(CommandLine line) throws Exception {
     ...
  }
}

(gen-interface
 :name some.place.MyInterface
 :methods [[perform [org.apache.commons.cli.CommandLine] void]])

This fails with in javac with: overridden method does not throw Exception

Is there any way to create an interface which declares a throws clause on the methods in Clojure using gen-interface?
