- ## Constructor Details

  - ### IllegalStateException

    public IllegalStateException()
    Constructs an IllegalStateException with no detail message. A detail message is a String that describes this particular exception.

  - ### IllegalStateException

    public IllegalStateException(String s)
    Constructs an IllegalStateException with the specified detail message. A detail message is a String that describes this particular exception.
    Parameters:
      `s` - the String that contains a detailed message

  - ### IllegalStateException

    public IllegalStateException(String message, Throwable cause)
    Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause.

    Note that the detail message associated with `cause` is not automatically incorporated in this exception's detail message.

    Parameters:
      `message` - the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getMessage()` method).
      `cause` - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

  - ### IllegalStateException

    public IllegalStateException(Throwable cause)
    Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`). This constructor is useful for exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables (for example, `PrivilegedActionException`).
    Parameters:
      `cause` - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
