31   * The {@code Throwable} class is the superclass of all errors and
32   * exceptions in the Java language. Only objects that are instances of this
33   * class (or one of its subclasses) are thrown by the Java Virtual Machine or
34   * can be thrown by the Java {@code throw} statement. Similarly, only
35   * this class or one of its subclasses can be the argument type in a
36   * {@code catch} clause.
37   *
38   * For the purposes of compile-time checking of exceptions, {@code
39   * Throwable} and any subclass of {@code Throwable} that is not also a
40   * subclass of either {@link RuntimeException} or {@link Error} are
41   * regarded as checked exceptions.
42   *
43   * <p>Instances of two subclasses, {@link java.lang.Error} and
44   * {@link java.lang.Exception}, are conventionally used to indicate
45   * that exceptional situations have occurred. Typically, these instances
46   * are freshly created in the context of the exceptional situation so
47   * as to include relevant information (such as stack trace data).
48   *
49   * <p>A throwable contains a snapshot of the execution stack of its
50   * thread at the time it was created. It can also contain a message
51   * string that gives more information about the error. Over time, a
52   * throwable can {@linkplain Throwable#addSuppressed suppress} other
53   * throwables from being propagated.  Finally, the throwable can also
54   * contain a <i>cause</i>: another throwable that caused this
55   * throwable to be constructed.  The recording of this causal information
56   * is referred to as the <i>chained exception</i> facility, as the
57   * cause can, itself, have a cause, and so on, leading to a "chain" of
58   * exceptions, each caused by another.
59   *
60   * <p>One reason that a throwable may have a cause is that the class that
61   * throws it is built atop a lower layered abstraction, and an operation on
62   * the upper layer fails due to a failure in the lower layer.  It would be bad
63   * design to let the throwable thrown by the lower layer propagate outward, as
64   * it is generally unrelated to the abstraction provided by the upper layer.
65   * Further, doing so would tie the API of the upper layer to the details of
66   * its implementation, assuming the lower layer's exception was a checked
67   * exception.  Throwing a "wrapped exception" (i.e., an exception containing a
68   * cause) allows the upper layer to communicate the details of the failure to
69   * its caller without incurring either of these shortcomings.  It preserves
70   * the flexibility to change the implementation of the upper layer without
71   * changing its API (in particular, the set of exceptions thrown by its
72   * methods).
73   *
74   * <p>A second reason that a throwable may have a cause is that the method
75   * that throws it must conform to a general-purpose interface that does not
76   * permit the method to throw the cause directly.  For example, suppose
77   * a persistent collection conforms to the {@link java.util.Collection
78   * Collection} interface, and that its persistence is implemented atop
79   * {@code java.io}.  Suppose the internals of the {@code add} method
80   * can throw an {@link java.io.IOException IOException}.  The implementation
81   * can communicate the details of the {@code IOException} to its caller
82   * while conforming to the {@code Collection} interface by wrapping the
83   * {@code IOException} in an appropriate unchecked exception.  (The
84   * specification for the persistent collection should indicate that it is
85   * capable of throwing such exceptions.)
86   *
87   * <p>A cause can be associated with a throwable in two ways: via a
88   * constructor that takes the cause as an argument, or via the
89   * {@link #initCause(Throwable)} method.  New throwable classes that
90   * wish to allow causes to be associated with them should provide constructors
91   * that take a cause and delegate (perhaps indirectly) to one of the
92   * {@code Throwable} constructors that takes a cause.
93   *
94   * Because the {@code initCause} method is public, it allows a cause to be
95   * associated with any throwable, even a "legacy throwable" whose
96   * implementation predates the addition of the exception chaining mechanism to
97   * {@code Throwable}.
98   *
99   * <p>By convention, class {@code Throwable} and its subclasses have two
100  * constructors, one that takes no arguments and one that takes a
101  * {@code String} argument that can be used to produce a detail message.
102  * Further, those subclasses that might likely have a cause associated with
103  * them should have two more constructors, one that takes a
104  * {@code Throwable} (the cause), and one that takes a
105  * {@code String} (the detail message) and a {@code Throwable} (the
106  * cause).

585      * As of release 7, the platform supports the notion of
586      * <i>suppressed exceptions</i> (in conjunction with the {@code
587      * try}-with-resources statement). Any exceptions that were
588      * suppressed in order to deliver an exception are printed out
589      * beneath the stack trace.  The format of this information
590      * depends on the implementation, but the following example may be
591      * regarded as typical:
592      *
593      * <pre>
594      * Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: Something happened
595      *  at Foo.bar(Foo.java:10)
596      *  at Foo.main(Foo.java:5)
597      *  Suppressed: Resource$CloseFailException: Resource ID = 0
598      *          at Resource.close(Resource.java:26)
599      *          at Foo.bar(Foo.java:9)
600      *          ... 1 more
601      * </pre>
602      * Note that the "... n more" notation is used on suppressed exceptions
603      * just at it is used on causes. Unlike causes, suppressed exceptions are
604      * indented beyond their "containing exceptions."
605      *
606      * <p>An exception can have both a cause and one or more suppressed
607      * exceptions:
608      * <pre>
609      * Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: Main block
610      *  at Foo3.main(Foo3.java:7)
611      *  Suppressed: Resource$CloseFailException: Resource ID = 2
612      *          at Resource.close(Resource.java:26)
613      *          at Foo3.main(Foo3.java:5)
614      *  Suppressed: Resource$CloseFailException: Resource ID = 1
615      *          at Resource.close(Resource.java:26)

618      *  at Foo3.main(Foo3.java:8)
619      * </pre>
620      * Likewise, a suppressed exception can have a cause:
621      * <pre>
622      * Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: Main block
623      *  at Foo4.main(Foo4.java:6)

1003      * exception is usually caught and then the second exception is
1004      * thrown in response.  In other words, there is a causal
1005      * connection between the two exceptions.
1006      *
1007      * In contrast, there are situations where two independent
1008      * exceptions can be thrown in sibling code blocks, in particular
1009      * in the {@code try} block of a {@code try}-with-resources
1010      * statement and the compiler-generated {@code finally} block
1011      * which closes the resource.
1012      *
1013      * In these situations, only one of the thrown exceptions can be
1014      * propagated.  In the {@code try}-with-resources statement, when
1015      * there are two such exceptions, the exception originating from
1016      * the {@code try} block is propagated and the exception from the
1017      * {@code finally} block is added to the list of exceptions
1018      * suppressed by the exception from the {@code try} block.  As an
1019      * exception unwinds the stack, it can accumulate multiple
1020      * suppressed exceptions.
1021      *
1022      * <p>An exception may have suppressed exceptions while also being
1023      * caused by another exception.  Whether or not an exception has a
