A checked exception representing a failure.

Core exceptions contain a status object describing the cause of the exception.

This class can be used without OSGi running.

Status object.
/** Status object. */
private final IStatus status;
Creates a new exception with the given status object. The message of the given status is used as the exception message.
Params:
  • status – the status object to be associated with this exception
/** * Creates a new exception with the given status object. The message * of the given status is used as the exception message. * * @param status the status object to be associated with this exception */
public CoreException(IStatus status) { super(status.getMessage()); this.status = status; }
Returns the cause of this exception, or null if none.
Returns:the cause for this exception
Since:3.4
/** * Returns the cause of this exception, or <code>null</code> if none. * * @return the cause for this exception * @since 3.4 */
@Override public Throwable getCause() { return status.getException(); }
Returns the status object for this exception.

IMPORTANT:
The result must NOT be used for logging, error reporting, or as a method return value, since that code pattern hides the original stack trace. Instead, create a new Status with your plug-in ID and this CoreException, and use that new status for error reporting or as a method return value. For example, instead of:

     yourPlugin.getLog().log(exception.getStatus());
  
Use:
     IStatus result = new Status(exception.getStatus().getSeverity(), pluginId, message, exception);
     yourPlugin.getLog().log(result);
  
Returns:a status object
