Mark, I don't have chapter 10 in front of me and I'm too lazy to go and download it, but if my memory is correct, that's the exception chaining example. The constructor should take a Throwable, which is the root cause of the exception.
So the constructor just allows a new exception to be created and takes the root cause, or the root cause from the previous level to be passed in. Does that make sense, or did I not answer the right question, which happens a lot with me.
