AnnotationFormatError

public AnnotationFormatError(String message)

Constructs a new AnnotationFormatError with the specified detail message.

Parameters:

message - the detail message.

AnnotationFormatError

public AnnotationFormatError(String message,
 Throwable cause)

Constructs a new AnnotationFormatError with the specified detail message and cause. Note that the detail message associated with cause is not automatically incorporated in this error's detail message.

Parameters:

message - the detail message

cause - the cause (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

AnnotationFormatError

public AnnotationFormatError(Throwable cause)

Constructs a new AnnotationFormatError with the specified cause and a detail message of (cause == null ? null : cause.toString()) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause).

Parameters:

cause - the cause (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
