All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class UnexpectedException
extends RuntimeException

An exception which DrJava throws on an unexpected error. Many times, we have to catch BadLocationExceptions in code that accesses DefinitionDocument, even if we know for a fact that a BadLocationException cannot occur. In that case, and in other similar cases where we know that an exception should not occur, we throw this on the off chance that something does go wrong. This aids us in debugging the code.
