After a very quick analysis i think i found more candidates for removing 
private causes.
share/classes/javax/security/sasl/SaslException.java:    private 
Throwable _exception;
share/classes/java/lang/reflect/UndeclaredThrowableException.java:    
private Throwable undeclaredThrowable;
share/classes/java/lang/reflect/InvocationTargetException.java:    
private Throwable target;
share/classes/java/lang/ClassNotFoundException.java:    private 
Throwable ex;
share/classes/com/sun/java/browser/dom/DOMAccessException.java:    
private Throwable ex;
share/classes/com/sun/java/browser/dom/DOMUnsupportedException.java:    
private Throwable ex;
share/classes/javax/naming/NamingException.java:    protected Throwable 
rootException = null;
share/classes/java/rmi/RemoteException.java:    public Throwable detail;
share/classes/java/rmi/activation/ActivationException.java:    public 
Throwable detail;

Some of them need deeper inspection. Some of them are the same as the 
above noted Exceptions in xml/crypto package.
