public classExceptionextendsThrowable
The classException and its subclasses are a form ofThrowable that indicates conditions that a reasonable application might want to catch.

The classException and any subclasses that are not also subclasses ofRuntimeException arechecked exceptions. Checked exceptions need to be declared in a method or constructor'sthrows clause if they can be thrown by the execution of the method or constructor and propagate outside the method or constructor boundary.
