§1.48 Class Error

public  class  java.lang.Error
    extends  java.lang.Throwable  (I-§1.21)
{
        // Constructors
    public Error();	§1.48.1
    public Error(String  s);	§1.48.2
}

An Error is a subclass of Throwable that indicates serious problems that a reasonable application should not try to catch. Most such errors are abnormal conditions. The Thread-Death error (I-§1.59), though a "normal" condition, is also a subclass of Error since most applications should not try to catch it.

A method is not required to declare in its throws clause any subclasses of Error that might be thrown during the execution of the method but not caught, since these errors are abnormal conditions that should never occur.
