Description

Exceptions in Java are often a chain of exceptions, or a stack of exceptions.

A problem of many Java developers, especially newer developers is finding the actual root cause of an exception. The Exception Handling module should take this guess work out when it finds exception handlers and first look for a handler for the root cause. The exception stack should be completely unwrapped before looking for a handler.
