public class FatalError
extends java.lang.RuntimeException

A FatalError is an unchecked exception thrown only by ErrorSet.fatal that indicates that a fatal error has been encountered, forcing all further processing to be abandoned. Note that this is really an Exception, not an Error.

The cause and existence of a fatal error will already have been reported to the user by the time the FatalError has been thrown.

FatalError must be caught by the top level of the Tool so that any needed cleanup can be done before the Tool exits. FatalErrors should be caught anywhere else only for local cleanup purposes.
