    `class` | `ClassCircularityError` Thrown when a circularity has been detected while initializing a class.
    `class` | `ClassFormatError` 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` | `ExceptionInInitializerError` Signals that an unexpected exception has occurred in a static initializer.
    `class` | `IllegalAccessError` Thrown if an application attempts to access or modify a field, or to call a method that it does not have access to.
    `class` | `IncompatibleClassChangeError` Thrown when an incompatible class change has occurred to some class definition.
    `class` | `InstantiationError` Thrown when an application tries to use the Java `new` construct to instantiate an abstract class or an interface.
    `class` | `InternalError` Thrown to indicate some unexpected internal error has occurred in the Java Virtual Machine.
    `class` | `LinkageError` 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` | `NoClassDefFoundError` 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` | `NoSuchFieldError` Thrown if an application tries to access or modify a specified field of an object, and that object no longer has that field.
    `class` | `NoSuchMethodError` 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` | `ThreadDeath` An instance of `ThreadDeath` is thrown in the victim thread when the (deprecated) `Thread.stop()` method is invoked.
    `class` | `UnknownError` Thrown when an unknown but serious exception has occurred in the Java Virtual Machine.
    `class` | `UnsatisfiedLinkError` Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine cannot find an appropriate native-language definition of a method declared `native`.
    `class` | `UnsupportedClassVersionError` 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` | `VerifyError` Thrown when the "verifier" detects that a class file, though well formed, contains some sort of internal inconsistency or security problem.
    `class` | `VirtualMachineError` Thrown to indicate that the Java Virtual Machine is broken or has run out of resources necessary for it to continue operating.
