Throwing error coding

Hi,

I'm working on a code where I can throw an error, but I'm just wondering is this the correct way to code it?

The idea here is to create a class where the NotImplementedError will be used as an error to be thrown

publicclass NotImplementedErrorextends Error

{

/**

* Constructs a NotImplementedError.

public NotImplementedError()

{

super("Not implemented");

}

Are you sure you want to extend Error? I think of Errors as coming from the JVM.

I thought by extending the error I can use it to extends to other classes, where I can throw the errors

I'm not sure what you mean. For example: why not extend Exception or RuntimeException?

Errors are irrecoverable by definition. Secondly what do you mean by extend?

Why not just use the already existing UnsupportedOperationException?

Other than that you should probably derive from RuntimeException rather than Error.
