 * Applications should not try to catch errors since they indicate

 * occur, but most applications should not catch it.  
 * <p>
 * A method is not required to declare any subclass of <code>Error</code> in 
 * its <code>throws</code> clause which might be thrown but not caught while
 * executing the method..
