Constructor Detail

ClassFormatException

public ClassFormatException()

Constructs a new instance with null as its detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause(java.lang.Throwable).

ClassFormatException

public ClassFormatException(String message)

Constructs a new instance with the specified detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause(java.lang.Throwable).

Parameters:

message - the detail message. The detail message is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getMessage() method.

ClassFormatException

public ClassFormatException(String message,
                            Throwable cause)

Constructs a new instance with the specified detail message and cause.

Parameters:

message - the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getMessage() method).

cause - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getCause() method). A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.

Since:

6.0

ClassFormatException

public ClassFormatException(Throwable cause)

Constructs a new instance 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 runtime exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables.

Parameters:

cause - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getCause() method). A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.

6.7.0
