- * Exceptions may be thrown by one part of a Java program and caught

- * when incorrectly trying to cast an object to a subclass it does not
- * belong to. The following code generates a <code>ClassCastException</code>.
+ * Thrown when an attempt is made to cast an object which is not of the
+ * appropriate runtime type. For example:<br>
* <pre>
* Object o = new Vector();
- * String s = (String)o;
+ * String s = (String) o;
* </pre>
