LinkageError

public class LinkageError
extends Error

java.lang.Object
   ↳ java.lang.Throwable
     ↳ java.lang.Error
       ↳ java.lang.LinkageError
BootstrapMethodError Thrown to indicate that an invokedynamic instruction or a dynamic constant failed to resolve its bootstrap method and arguments, or for invokedynamic instruction the bootstrap method has failed to provide a call site with a target of the correct method type, or for a dynamic constant the bootstrap method has failed to provide a constant value of the required type. 
ClassCircularityError Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine detects a circularity in the superclass hierarchy of a class being loaded. 
ClassFormatError Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a class file and determines that the file is malformed or otherwise cannot be interpreted as a class file. 
ExceptionInInitializerError Signals that an unexpected exception has occurred in a static initializer. 
IncompatibleClassChangeError Thrown when an incompatible class change has occurred to some class definition. 
NoClassDefFoundError Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine or a ClassLoader instance tries to load in the definition of a class (as part of a normal method call or as part of creating a new instance using the new expression) and no definition of the class could be found. 
UnsatisfiedLinkError Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine cannot find an appropriate native-language definition of a method declared native
VerifyError Thrown when the "verifier" detects that a class file, though well formed, contains some sort of internal inconsistency or security problem. 
AbstractMethodError Thrown when an application tries to call an abstract method. 
GenericSignatureFormatError Thrown when a syntactically malformed signature attribute is encountered by a reflective method that needs to interpret the generic signature information for a type, method or constructor. 
IllegalAccessError Thrown if an application attempts to access or modify a field, or to call a method that it does not have access to. 
InstantiationError Thrown when an application tries to use the Java new construct to instantiate an abstract class or an interface. 
NoSuchFieldError Thrown if an application tries to access or modify a specified field of an object, and that object no longer has that field. 
NoSuchMethodError Thrown if an application tries to call a specified method of a class (either static or instance), and that class no longer has a definition of that method. 
UnsupportedClassVersionError Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a class file and determines that the major and minor version numbers in the file are not supported. 


Subclasses of LinkageError indicate that a class has some dependency on another class; however, the latter class has incompatibly changed after the compilation of the former class.

Summary

Public constructors

LinkageError()

Constructs a LinkageError with no detail message.

StackTraceElement[] getStackTrace()

Provides programmatic access to the stack trace information printed by printStackTrace().

final Throwable[] getSuppressed()

Returns an array containing all of the exceptions that were suppressed, typically by the try-with-resources statement, in order to deliver this exception.

Throwable initCause(Throwable cause)

Initializes the cause of this throwable to the specified value.

void printStackTrace()

Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the standard error stream.

void printStackTrace(PrintWriter s)

Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print writer.

void printStackTrace(PrintStream s)

Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print stream.

void setStackTrace(StackTraceElement[] stackTrace)

Sets the stack trace elements that will be returned by getStackTrace() and printed by printStackTrace() and related methods.

String toString()

Returns a short description of this throwable.

Object clone()

Creates and returns a copy of this object.

boolean equals(Object obj)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

void finalize()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

final Class<?> getClass()

Returns the runtime class of this Object.

int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

final void notify()

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.

final void notifyAll()

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.

String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object.

final void wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

final void wait(long timeoutMillis)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

final void wait()

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
