Class SWTError
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable
throwable field which holds the underlying
 throwable that caused the problem (if this information is
 available (i.e. it may be null)).
 SWTErrors are thrown when something fails internally which either leaves SWT in an unknown state (eg. the o/s call to remove an item from a list returns an error code) or when SWT is left in a known-to-be-unrecoverable state (eg. it runs out of callback resources). SWTErrors should not occur in typical programs, although "high reliability" applications should still catch them.
This class also provides support methods used by SWT to match error codes to the appropriate exception class (SWTError, SWTException, or IllegalArgumentException) and to provide human readable strings for SWT error codes.

Method Details- 
getCauseReturns the underlying throwable that caused the problem, or null if this information is not available.NOTE: This method overrides Throwable.getCause() that was added to JDK1.4. It is necessary to override this method in order for inherited printStackTrace() methods to work. 
- 
getMessageReturns the string describing this SWTError object.It is combined with the message string of the Throwable which caused this SWTError (if this information is available). - Overrides:
- getMessagein class- Throwable
- Returns:
- the error message string of this SWTError object
 
- 
printStackTracepublic void printStackTrace()Outputs a printable representation of this error's stack trace on the standard error stream.Note: printStackTrace(PrintStream) and printStackTrace(PrintWriter) are not provided in order to maintain compatibility with CLDC. - Overrides:
- printStackTracein class- Throwable
