java.lang Package

An object to which char sequences and values can be appended.

An object that may hold resources (such as file or socket handles) until it is closed.

A CharSequence is a readable sequence of char values.

A class implements the Cloneable interface to indicate to the Object.clone() method that it is legal for that method to make a field-for-field copy of instances of that class.

This interface imposes a total ordering on the objects of each class that implements it.

Implementing this interface allows an object to be the target of the "for-each loop" statement.

This is the common base class of all Java language enumeration types.

The Float class wraps a value of primitive type float in an object.

This class extends ThreadLocal to provide inheritance of values from parent thread to child thread: when a child thread is created, the child receives initial values for all inheritable thread-local variables for which the parent has values.

The Integer class wraps a value of the primitive type int in an object.

The Long class wraps a value of the primitive type long in an object.

The class Math contains methods for performing basic numeric operations such as the elementary exponential, logarithm, square root, and trigonometric functions.

The abstract class Number is the superclass of platform classes representing numeric values that are convertible to the primitive types byte, double, float, int, long, and short.

Class Object is the root of the class hierarchy.

Package objects contain version information about the implementation and specification of a Java package.

The ProcessBuilder.start() and Runtime.exec methods create a native process and return an instance of a subclass of Process that can be used to control the process and obtain information about it.

This class is used to create operating system processes.

Represents a source of subprocess input or a destination of subprocess output.

Every Java application has a single instance of class Runtime that allows the application to interface with the environment in which the application is running.

This class is for runtime permissions.

The security manager is a class that allows applications to implement a security policy.

The Short class wraps a value of primitive type short in an object.

An element in a stack trace, as returned by Throwable.getStackTrace().

The class StrictMath contains methods for performing basic numeric operations such as the elementary exponential, logarithm, square root, and trigonometric functions.

The String class represents character strings.

A thread-safe, mutable sequence of characters.

A mutable sequence of characters.

The System class contains several useful class fields and methods.

A thread is a thread of execution in a program.

A thread group represents a set of threads.

This class provides thread-local variables.

The Throwable class is the superclass of all errors and exceptions in the Java language.

The Void class is an uninstantiable placeholder class to hold a reference to the Class object representing the Java keyword void.

A family of character subsets representing the character scripts defined in the Unicode Standard Annex #24: Script Names.

The type of a ProcessBuilder.Redirect.

A thread state.

Thrown to indicate that an attempt has been made to store the wrong type of object into an array of objects.

Thrown to indicate that the code has attempted to cast an object to a subclass of which it is not an instance.

Thrown when an application tries to load in a class through its string name using: The forName method in class Class.

Thrown to indicate that the clone method in class Object has been called to clone an object, but that the object’s class does not implement the Cloneable interface.

Thrown when an application tries to access an enum constant by name and the enum type contains no constant with the specified name.

The class Exception and its subclasses are a form of Throwable that indicates conditions that a reasonable application might want to catch.

An IllegalAccessException is thrown when an application tries to reflectively create an instance (other than an array), set or get a field, or invoke a method, but the currently executing method does not have access to the definition of the specified class, field, method or constructor.

Thrown to indicate that a method has been passed an illegal or inappropriate argument.

Thrown to indicate that a thread has attempted to wait on an object’s monitor or to notify other threads waiting on an object’s monitor without owning the specified monitor.

Signals that a method has been invoked at an illegal or inappropriate time.

Thrown to indicate that a thread is not in an appropriate state for the requested operation.

Thrown to indicate that an index of some sort (such as to an array, to a string, or to a vector) is out of range.

Thrown when an application tries to create an instance of a class using the newInstance method in class Class, but the specified class object cannot be instantiated.

Thrown when a thread is waiting, sleeping, or otherwise occupied, and the thread is interrupted, either before or during the activity.

Thrown if an application tries to create an array with negative size.

Signals that the class doesn’t have a field of a specified name.

Thrown when a particular method cannot be found.

Thrown when an application attempts to use null in a case where an object is required.

Thrown to indicate that the application has attempted to convert a string to one of the numeric types, but that the string does not have the appropriate format.

Common superclass of exceptions thrown by reflective operations in core reflection.

RuntimeException is the superclass of those exceptions that can be thrown during the normal operation of the Java Virtual Machine.

Thrown by the security manager to indicate a security violation.

Thrown by String methods to indicate that an index is either negative or greater than the size of the string.

Thrown when an application tries to access a type using a string representing the type’s name, but no definition for the type with the specified name can be found.

Thrown to indicate that the requested operation is not supported.

Thrown when an application tries to call an abstract method.

Thrown to indicate that an assertion has failed.

Thrown to indicate that an invokedynamic instruction has failed to find its bootstrap method, or the bootstrap method has failed to provide a call site with a target of the correct method type.

Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine detects a circularity in the superclass hierarchy of a class being loaded.

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.

Thrown when an application tries to use the Java new construct to instantiate an abstract class or an interface.

Thrown to indicate some unexpected internal error has occurred in the Java Virtual Machine.

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.

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.
