> Occasionally in core-libs we've discussed whether or not to do a pass over the exception classes and proactively add any of four missing convention constructors per java.lang.Throwable (no-arg, string, cause, cause and string). Last time this came up, we decided a wide-scale effort wasn't worthwhile.
> 
> Prompted by some other recent work, I decided to take a quick look at the dual-approach: grep for calls to initCause in java.base and seeing which exception classes repeated were initCaused. Those exception classes are good candidates for cause-taking constructors.
> 
> Two such exception classes area InvalidObjectException and InvalidClassException, along with their superclass ObjectStreamException.
> 
> Please also review the CSR: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8282697
