When should Throwable be used instead of new Exception?

Question

Given: Throwable is Exception\'s superclass.

When I read texts on writing your own \'exceptions\', I see examples of Throwable

Answer 1

All exceptions are a problem in the end... too say Errors are bugs doesnt mean anything.

Errors are not bugs - they are problems that the host VM is experiencing, eg OutOfMemoryError. Exceptions are a means that the current operation may use to notify that it failed and perhaps provide some diagnosis.
