cajeta.error.Exception — general-purpose thrown error and the base of the catchable exception hierarchy. Extends Throwable (the hierarchy root, which carries the message field) and is itself the parent of RecoverableException and UnrecoverableException — the runtime walks that vtable chain on a throw to decide whether it propagates to abort. Beyond the inherited message, Exception adds a public cause link so a wrapped lower-level failure can be carried along; it is 0 (none) when the throw has no underlying cause.

try {
    throw heap Exception("config file missing");
} catch (Exception e) {
    String why = e.message;
}
