    29  * An {@code Error} is a subclass of {@code Throwable}
       
    30  * that indicates serious problems that a reasonable application
       
    31  * should not try to catch. Most such errors are abnormal conditions.
       
    32  * The {@code ThreadDeath} error, though a "normal" condition,
       
    33  * is also a subclass of {@code Error} because most applications
       
    34  * should not try to catch it.
       
    35  * <p>
       
    36  * A method is not required to declare in its {@code throws}
       
    37  * clause any subclasses of {@code Error} that might be thrown
       
    38  * during the execution of the method but not caught, since these
       
    39  * errors are abnormal conditions that should never occur.
       
    40  *
       
    41  * That is, {@code Error} and its subclasses are regarded as unchecked
       
    42  * exceptions for the purposes of compile-time checking of exceptions.
