/**
 * The <code>Throwable</code> class is the superclass of all errors and
 * exceptions in the Java language. Only objects that are instances of this
 * class (or one of its subclasses) are thrown by the Java Virtual Machine or
 * can be thrown by the Java <code>throw</code> statement. Similarly, only
 * this class or one of its subclasses can be the argument type in a
 * <code>catch</code> clause.
 *
 * <p>Instances of two subclasses, {@link java.lang.Error} and
 * {@link java.lang.Exception}, are conventionally used to indicate
 * that exceptional situations have occurred. Typically, these instances
 * are freshly created in the context of the exceptional situation so
 * as to include relevant information (such as stack trace data).
 *
 * <p>A throwable contains a snapshot of the execution stack of its thread at
 * the time it was created. It can also contain a message string that gives
 * more information about the error. Finally, it can contain a <i>cause</i>:
 * another throwable that caused this throwable to get thrown.  The cause
 * facility is new in release 1.4.  It is also known as the <i>chained
 * exception</i> facility, as the cause can, itself, have a cause, and so on,
 * leading to a "chain" of exceptions, each caused by another.
 *
 * <p>One reason that a throwable may have a cause is that the class that
 * throws it is built atop a lower layered abstraction, and an operation on
 * the upper layer fails due to a failure in the lower layer.  It would be bad
 * design to let the throwable thrown by the lower layer propagate outward, as
 * it is generally unrelated to the abstraction provided by the upper layer.
 * Further, doing so would tie the API of the upper layer to the details of
 * its implementation, assuming the lower layer's exception was a checked
 * exception.  Throwing a "wrapped exception" (i.e., an exception containing a
 * cause) allows the upper layer to communicate the details of the failure to
 * its caller without incurring either of these shortcomings.  It preserves
 * the flexibility to change the implementation of the upper layer without
 * changing its API (in particular, the set of exceptions thrown by its
 * methods).
 *
 * <p>A second reason that a throwable may have a cause is that the method
 * that throws it must conform to a general-purpose interface that does not
 * permit the method to throw the cause directly.  For example, suppose
 * a persistent collection conforms to the {@link java.util.Collection
 * Collection} interface, and that its persistence is implemented atop
 * <tt>java.io</tt>.  Suppose the internals of the <tt>add</tt> method
 * can throw an {@link java.io.IOException IOException}.  The implementation
 * can communicate the details of the <tt>IOException</tt> to its caller
 * while conforming to the <tt>Collection</tt> interface by wrapping the
 * <tt>IOException</tt> in an appropriate unchecked exception.  (The
 * specification for the persistent collection should indicate that it is
 * capable of throwing such exceptions.)
 *
 * <p>A cause can be associated with a throwable in two ways: via a
 * constructor that takes the cause as an argument, or via the
 * {@link #initCause(Throwable)} method.  New throwable classes that
 * wish to allow causes to be associated with them should provide constructors
 * that take a cause and delegate (perhaps indirectly) to one of the
 * <tt>Throwable</tt> constructors that takes a cause.  For example:
 * <pre>
 *     try {
 *         lowLevelOp();
 *     } catch (LowLevelException le) {
 *         throw new HighLevelException(le);  // Chaining-aware constructor
 *     }
 * </pre>
 * Because the <tt>initCause</tt> method is public, it allows a cause to be
 * associated with any throwable, even a "legacy throwable" whose
 * implementation predates the addition of the exception chaining mechanism to
 * <tt>Throwable</tt>. For example:
 * <pre>
 *     try {
 *         lowLevelOp();
 *     } catch (LowLevelException le) {
 *         throw (HighLevelException)
                 new HighLevelException().initCause(le);  // Legacy constructor
 *     }
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Prior to release 1.4, there were many throwables that had their own
 * non-standard exception chaining mechanisms (
 * {@link ExceptionInInitializerError}, {@link ClassNotFoundException},
 * {@link java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException},
 * {@link java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException},
 * {@link java.io.WriteAbortedException},
 * {@link java.security.PrivilegedActionException},
 * {@link java.awt.print.PrinterIOException},
 * {@link java.rmi.RemoteException} and
 * {@link javax.naming.NamingException}).
 * All of these throwables have been retrofitted to
 * use the standard exception chaining mechanism, while continuing to
 * implement their "legacy" chaining mechanisms for compatibility.
 *
 * <p>Further, as of release 1.4, many general purpose <tt>Throwable</tt>
 * classes (for example {@link Exception}, {@link RuntimeException},
 * {@link Error}) have been retrofitted with constructors that take
 * a cause.  This was not strictly necessary, due to the existence of the
 * <tt>initCause</tt> method, but it is more convenient and expressive to
 * delegate to a constructor that takes a cause.
 *
 * <p>By convention, class <code>Throwable</code> and its subclasses have two
 * constructors, one that takes no arguments and one that takes a
 * <code>String</code> argument that can be used to produce a detail message.
 * Further, those subclasses that might likely have a cause associated with
 * them should have two more constructors, one that takes a
 * <code>Throwable</code> (the cause), and one that takes a
 * <code>String</code> (the detail message) and a <code>Throwable</code> (the
 * cause).
 *
 * <p>Also introduced in release 1.4 is the {@link #getStackTrace()} method,
 * which allows programmatic access to the stack trace information that was
 * previously available only in text form, via the various forms of the
 * {@link #printStackTrace()} method.  This information has been added to the
 * <i>serialized representation</i> of this class so <tt>getStackTrace</tt>
 * and <tt>printStackTrace</tt> will operate properly on a throwable that
 * was obtained by deserialization.
