/**
 * Thrown when an application tries to load in a class through its
 * string name using:
 * 
 * The {@code forName} method in class {@code Class}.
 * 
The {@code findSystemClass} method in class
 *     {@code ClassLoader} .
 * 
The {@code loadClass} method in class {@code ClassLoader}.
 * 
 * 
 * but no definition for the class with the specified name could be found.
 *
 * 
As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to
 * the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism.  The "optional exception
 * that was raised while loading the class" that may be provided at
 * construction time and accessed via the {@link #getException()} method is
 * now known as the cause, and may be accessed via the {@link
 * Throwable#getCause()} method, as well as the aforementioned "legacy method."
