/**
* This error is thrown whenever an unrecoverable error
* occurs internally in SWT. The message text and error code
* provide a further description of the problem. The exception
* has a throwable field which holds the underlying
* throwable that caused the problem (if this information is
* available (i.e. it may be null)).
*
* SWTErrors are thrown when something fails internally which
* either leaves SWT in an unknown state (eg. the o/s call to
* remove an item from a list returns an error code) or when SWT
* is left in a known-to-be-unrecoverable state (eg. it runs out
* of callback resources). SWTErrors should not occur in typical
* programs, although "high reliability" applications should
* still catch them.
*
* This class also provides support methods used by SWT to match
* error codes to the appropriate exception class (SWTError,
* SWTException, or IllegalArgumentException) and to provide
* human readable strings for SWT error codes.
*
