This documentation differs from the official API. Jadeite adds extra features to the API including: variable font sizes, constructions examples, placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links. Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences.

Constructor Detail

Exception

public Exception()
Constructs a new exception with null as its detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to {@link #initCause}.


Exception

public Exception(String message)
Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to {@link #initCause}.

Parameters:
message - the detail message. The detail message is saved for later retrieval by the {@link #getMessage()} method.

Exception

public Exception(String message,
                 Throwable cause)
Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause.

Note that the detail message associated with cause is not automatically incorporated in this exception's detail message.

Parameters:
message - the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the {@link #getMessage()} method).
cause - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the {@link #getCause()} method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

Exception

public Exception(Throwable cause)
Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of (cause==null ? null : cause.toString()) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause). This constructor is useful for exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables (for example, {@link java.security.PrivilegedActionException}).

Parameters:
cause - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the {@link #getCause()} method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
