+/**
+ * Throwable is the superclass of all exceptions that can be raised.
+ *
+ * <p>There are two special cases: {@link Error} and {@link RuntimeException}:
+ * these two classes (and their subclasses) are considered unchecked
+ * exceptions, and are either frequent enough or catastrophic enough that you
+ * do not need to declare them in <code>throws</code> clauses. Everything
+ * else is a checked exception, and is ususally a subclass of
+ * {@link Exception}; these exceptions have to be handled or declared.
+ *
+ * <p>Instances of this class are usually created with knowledge of the
+ * execution context, so that you can get a stack trace of the problem spot
+ * in the code. Also, since JDK 1.4, Throwables participate in "exception
+ * chaining." This means that one exception can be caused by another, and
+ * preserve the information of the original.
+ *
+ * <p>One reason this is useful is to wrap exceptions to conform to an
+ * interface. For example, it would be bad design to require all levels
+ * of a program interface to be aware of the low-level exceptions thrown
+ * at one level of abstraction. Another example is wrapping a checked
+ * exception in an unchecked one, to communicate that failure occured
+ * while still obeying the method throws clause of a superclass.
+ *
+ * <p>A cause is assigned in one of two ways; but can only be assigned once
+ * in the lifetime of the Throwable. There are new constructors added to
+ * several classes in the exception hierarchy that directly initialize the
+ * cause, or you can use the <code>initCause</code> method. This second
+ * method is especially useful if the superclass has not been retrofitted
+ * with new constructors:<br>
+ * <pre>
+ * try
+ * {
+ * lowLevelOp();
+ * }
+ * catch (LowLevelException lle)
+ * {
+ * throw (HighLevelException) new HighLevelException().initCause(lle);
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ * Notice the cast in the above example; without it, your method would need
+ * a throws clase that declared Throwable, defeating the purpose of chainig
+ * your exceptions.
+ *
+ * <p>By convention, exception classes have two constructors: one with no
+ * arguments, and one that takes a String for a detail message. Further,
+ * classes which are likely to be used in an exception chain also provide
+ * a constructor that takes a Throwable, with or without a detail message
+ * string.
+ *
+ * <p>Another 1.4 feature is the StackTrace, a means of reflection that
+ * allows the program to inspect the context of the exception, and which is
+ * serialized, so that remote procedure calls can correctly pass exceptions.
