Example

public class Exemplo {
public void run() throws Throwable {
throw new Throwable( "Problema" ); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
}

Solução
Crie a subclasse específica de java.lang.Exception.

public static class ExceptionSubclass extends Exception {
public ExceptionSubclass( String s ){
super(s);
}
}

public class Exemplo {
public void run() throws ExceptionSubclass {
throw new ExceptionSubclass( "Problema" ); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
}
