异常类Exception(String message, Throwable cause)中的cause理解

　　这个在构造函数里面竟然有一个Throwable，感觉有些奇怪。

1.

　　Throwable cause 这里cause要传一个Throwable的子类异常进去么？

　　是引起这个异常的异常，如果这个值是空值，那么这个异常就是源头；如果这个值等于自己，那么这个异常还没被初始化。

　　/**
* The throwable that caused this throwable to get thrown, or null if this
* throwable was not caused by another throwable, or if the causative
* throwable is unknown. If this field is equal to this throwable itself,
* it indicates that the cause of this throwable has not yet been
* initialized.
