  37  * <p>An {@code UndeclaredThrowableException} instance contains
  38  * the undeclared checked exception that was thrown by the invocation

  41  * {@code UndeclaredThrowableException} extends
  42  * {@code RuntimeException}, so it is an unchecked exception
  43  * that wraps a checked exception.

  45  * <p>As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to
  46  * conform to the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism.  The

  48  * handler" that may be provided at construction time and accessed via
  49  * the {@link #getUndeclaredThrowable()} method is now known as the
  50  * <i>cause</i>, and may be accessed via the {@link
  51  * Throwable#getCause()} method, as well as the aforementioned "legacy
  52  * method."
