/**
 * The base class of all exceptions which can contain other exceptions.
 * <p/>
 * It is intended to ease the debugging by carrying on the information
 * about the exception which was caught and provoked throwing the
 * current exception. Catching and rethrowing may occur multiple
 * times, and provided that all exceptions except the first one
 * are descendands of <code>NestedException</code>, when the
 * exception is finally printed out using any of the <code>
 * printStackTrace()</code> methods, the stacktrace will contain
 * the information about all exceptions thrown and caught on
 * the way.
