I'm trying to define my own exception class the easiest way, and this is what I'm getting:
public class MyException extends Exception {}
public class Foo {
  public bar() throws MyException {
    throw new MyException("try again please");
  }
}
This is what Java compiler says:
cannot find symbol: constructor MyException(java.lang.String)
I had a feeling that this constructor has to be inherited from java.lang.Exception, isn't it?
