Exception ()

Constructs a new exception with null as its detail message.

final Exception e = new SampleException();
System.out.println(e); // SampleException

Exception (String message)

Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message.

final Exception e = new SampleException("abcde");
System.out.println(e); // SampleException: abcde
System.out.println(e.getMessage()); // abcde

Exception (String message, Throwable cause)

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

final Exception cause = new SampleException("XYZ");
final Exception e = new SampleException("abcde", cause);

System.out.println(e); // SampleException: abcde
System.out.println(e.getMessage()); // abcde

System.out.println(e.getCause()); // SampleException: XYZ
System.out.println(e.getCause().getMessage()); // XYZ

Exception (String message, Throwable cause, boolean enableSuppression, boolean writableStackTrace)

Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message, cause, suppression enabled or disabled, and writable stack trace enabled or disabled.

final Exception cause = new SampleException("XYZ");
final Exception e = new SampleException("abcde", cause, true, true);

System.out.println(e); // SampleException: abcde
System.out.println(e.getCause()); // SampleException: XYZ

e.addSuppressed(new SampleException("E1"));
e.addSuppressed(new SampleException("E2"));

// [SampleException: E1, SampleException: E2]
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(e.getSuppressed()));

System.out.println(e.getStackTrace().length > 0); // true

// enableSuppression = false
final Exception cause = new SampleException("XYZ");
final Exception e = new SampleException("abcde", cause, false, true);

System.out.println(e); // SampleException: abcde
System.out.println(e.getCause()); // SampleException: XYZ

e.addSuppressed(new SampleException("E1"));
e.addSuppressed(new SampleException("E2"));
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(e.getSuppressed())); // []

System.out.println(e.getStackTrace().length > 0); // true

// writableStackTrace = false
final Exception cause = new SampleException("XYZ");
final Exception e = new SampleException("abcde", cause, true, false);

System.out.println(e); // SampleException: abcde
System.out.println(e.getCause()); // SampleException: XYZ

e.addSuppressed(new SampleException("E1"));
e.addSuppressed(new SampleException("E2"));

// [SampleException: E1, SampleException: E2]
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(e.getSuppressed()));

System.out.println(e.getStackTrace().length); // 0

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).

final Exception cause = new SampleException("XYZ");
final Exception e = new SampleException(cause);

System.out.println(e); // SampleException: SampleException: XYZ
System.out.println(e.getMessage()); // SampleException: XYZ

System.out.println(e.getCause()); // SampleException: XYZ
System.out.println(e.getCause().getMessage()); // XYZ
