People tend to heavily abuse 'throw new XxxxException' instead of
'throw new Error'. The difference is that Excetions are supposed to be
handled gracefully while Errors should cause the JVM to die. So when
you know that you cannot go on, you just throw an Error. In library
code you'll often throw exceptions, but in application code you'll
often catch an exception just to throw an error.
