Thrown when a serious I/O error has occurred.

Thrown when an application tries to call an abstract method.

class

Thrown to indicate that an assertion has failed.

class

Thrown to indicate that an invokedynamic instruction or a dynamic constant failed to resolve its bootstrap method and arguments, or for invokedynamic instruction the bootstrap method has failed to provide a call site with a target of the correct method type, or for a dynamic constant the bootstrap method has failed to provide a constant value of the required type.

class

Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine detects a circularity in the superclass hierarchy of a class being loaded.

class

Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a class file and determines that the file is malformed or otherwise cannot be interpreted as a class file.

class

Signals that an unexpected exception has occurred in a static initializer.

class

Thrown if an application attempts to access or modify a field, or to call a method that it does not have access to.

class

Thrown when an incompatible class change has occurred to some class definition.

class

Thrown when an application tries to use the Java new construct to instantiate an abstract class or an interface.

class

Thrown to indicate some unexpected internal error has occurred in the Java Virtual Machine.

class

Subclasses of LinkageError indicate that a class has some dependency on another class; however, the latter class has incompatibly changed after the compilation of the former class.

class

Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine or a ClassLoader instance tries to load in the definition of a class (as part of a normal method call or as part of creating a new instance using the new expression) and no definition of the class could be found.

class

Thrown if an application tries to access or modify a specified field of an object, and that object no longer has that field.

class

Thrown if an application tries to call a specified method of a class (either static or instance), and that class no longer has a definition of that method.

class

Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine cannot allocate an object because it is out of memory, and no more memory could be made available by the garbage collector.

class

Thrown when a stack overflow occurs because an application recurses too deeply.

class

An instance of ThreadDeath is thrown in the victim thread when the (deprecated) Thread.stop() method is invoked.

class

Thrown when an unknown but serious exception has occurred in the Java Virtual Machine.

class

Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine cannot find an appropriate native-language definition of a method declared native.

class

Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a class file and determines that the major and minor version numbers in the file are not supported.

class

Thrown when the "verifier" detects that a class file, though well formed, contains some sort of internal inconsistency or security problem.

abstract class

Thrown to indicate that the Java Virtual Machine is broken or has run out of resources necessary for it to continue operating.

Thrown when the annotation parser attempts to read an annotation from a class file and determines that the annotation is malformed.

Error thrown when something goes wrong while locating, loading, or instantiating a service provider.
