Package java.lang

Interface Summary

CharSequence	The CharSequence interface represents an ordered set of characters and the functions to probe them.
Cloneable	This (empty) interface should be implemented by all classes which wish to support cloning.
Comparable	This interface should be implemented by all classes which wish to define a natural ordering of their instances.
Iterable	Implementations of this interface can be used within a foreach statement.
Runnable	The runnable interface must be implemented by all classes which want to be run as threads.

Class Summary

Character
StackTraceElement	An element in a stack trace, as returned by Throwable.getStackTrace().
StringBuffer	A string buffer implements a mutable sequence of characters.
Thread
ThreadGroup
Throwable	The Throwable class is the superclass of all errors and exceptions in the Java language.
Void	The Void class is an uninstantiable placeholder class to hold a reference to the Class object representing the Java keyword void.

Exception Summary

ArithmeticException	This runtime exception is thrown when the an invalid arithmetic operation is attempted.
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException	This runtime exception is thrown when the an array is indexed with a value less than zero, or greater than or equal to the size of the array.
ArrayStoreException	This runtime exception is thrown when a program attempts to store into an array an element of a a type which the array can not hold..
ClassCastException	This runtime exception is thrown when a program attempts to cast a an object to a type which it is not compatible with.
ClassNotFoundException	This exception is thrown when a classloader is unable to find a class.
CloneNotSupportedException	This exception is thrown when a program attempts to clone an object which does not support the Cloneable interface.
Exception	This class is the superclass of all classes which represent recoverable exceptions.
IllegalAccessException	This exception is thrown when a program attempts to access a field or method which is not accessible from the location where the reference is made.
IllegalArgumentException	This runtime exception is thrown when a method is invoked with an argument which it can not reasonably deal with.
IllegalMonitorStateException	This runtime exception is thrown when a monitor operation is attempted when the monitor is not in the correct state, for example when a thread attempts to exit a monitor which it did not own.
IllegalStateException	This runtime exception is thrown when an action is attempted at a time when the virtual machine is not in the correct state.
IllegalThreadStateException	This runtime exception is thrown when an operation is attempted which is not possible given the state that the executing thread is in.
IndexOutOfBoundsException	This runtime exception is thrown when a program attempts to access a value in an indexable collection using a value which is outside the possible range of indices.
InstantiationException	This exception is thrown when a program attempts to access a constructor which is not accessible from the location where the reference is made.
InterruptedException	This exception is thrown when a waiting thread is activated before the condition it was waiting on has been satisfied.
NegativeArraySizeException	This runtime exception is thrown when an attempt is made to create an array whose size would be less than zero.
NoSuchFieldException	This exception is thrown when a program attempts to access a field which does not exist in a class
NoSuchMethodException	This exception is thrown when a program attempts to access a method which does not exist in a class.
NullPointerException	This runtime exception is thrown when an attempt is made to access a field or method of an instance or an element of an array when there is no instance or array to use (i.e. the pointer is null).
NumberFormatException	This runtime exception is thrown when a "string to number" conversion routine is passed an invalid value.
RuntimeException	This class is the superclass of all classes which represent exceptional conditions which occur as a result of the running of the virtual machine.
SecurityException	This runtime exception is thrown when a security manager check fails.
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException	This runtime exception is thrown when the a String is indexed with a value less than zero, or greater than or equal to the size of the array.
TypeNotPresentException	Indicates that a class, interface, enum or annotation type cannot be found.
UnsupportedOperationException	This runtime exception is thrown when an unsupported operation is attempted.

Error Summary

AbstractMethodError	This error is thrown when the VM notices that a an attempt is being made to invoke an abstract method.
AssertionError	Indicates that an assertion has failed.
ClassCircularityError	This error is thrown when the VM notices that an attempt is made to load a class which would directly or indirectly inherit from one of its subclasses.
ClassFormatError	This error is thrown by the class loader when it discovers that a class that it is loading does not have the correct shape.
Error	This class is the superclass of all classes which represent unrecoverable errors.
ExceptionInInitializerError	This error is thrown when an exception occurs during class initialization.
IllegalAccessError	This error is thrown when the VM notices that a an attempt is being made to access a field which is not accessable from where it is referenced.
IncompatibleClassChangeError	This class is the superclass of all classes which represent errors which occur when inconsistant class files are loaded into the same running image.
InstantiationError	This error is thrown when the VM notices that a an attempt is being made to create a new instance of a class which has no visible constructors from the location where new is invoked.
InternalError	This error is thrown when the VM notices that it has gotten into a state which it does not understand.
LinkageError	This class is the superclass of all classes which represent errors that occur when loading and linking class files.
NoClassDefFoundError	This error is thrown when the VM is unable to locate a class which it has been asked to load.
NoSuchFieldError	This error is thrown when the VM notices that a an attempt is being made to reference a field of a class which does not exist in that class.
NoSuchMethodError	This error is thrown when the VM notices that a an attempt is being made to reference a method of a class which does not exist in that class.
OutOfMemoryError	This error is thrown when a request is made for more memory either as a result of the running program, or because of the internal behavior of the virtual machine which can not be satisfied using the available platform resources.
StackOverflowError	This error is thrown when the depth of the callstack of the running program excedes some platform or virtual machine specific limit.
ThreadDeath	ThreadDeath is thrown when a thread stops executing.
UnknownError	This error is thrown when the virtual machine must throw an error which does not match any known exceptional condition.
UnsatisfiedLinkError	This error is thrown when an attempt is made to invoke a native for which an implementation could not be found.
UnsupportedClassVersionError	This error is thrown when an attempt is made to load a class with a format version that is not supported by the VM.
VerifyError	This error is thrown when the VM notices that an attempt is made to load a class which does not pass the class verification phase.
VirtualMachineError	This class is the superclass of all classes which represent errors that occur during the operation of the virtual machine.
