From Java Tutorial 98-2: Java Language and Object Oriented Techniques CPS606 Fall Semester 1999 -- Sept 7 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Nancy McCracken
1 The language itself supports concept of an exception
2 Java supports a hierarchical model of exceptions which allow and indeed require user to supply suitable handlers for any exception that can occur in a Java program
3 Note exceptions that can occur in a method must either be caught (i.e. handled inside method) or thrown (i.e. returned to callee)

5 Exceptions are all (at some level in hierarchy) subclasses of Throwable class
