Java allows you to extend Throwable, but it's generally a bad idea. Most error handling code assumes that the only direct subtypes of Throwable are Exception and Error, and do not deal correctly with other subtypes.

Hi! We are a small group of KTH students who would like to try to contribute towards this issue. Is it OK to open a PR for it?
