public IllegalStateException(Throwable cause)
Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of (cause==null ? null : cause.toString()) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause). This constructor is useful for exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables (for example, {@link java.security.PrivilegedActionException}).

param
cause the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the {@link Throwable#getCause()} method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
