Niall Pemberton commented on STR-3119:
--------------------------------------

Although some exceptions lack constructors which take a throwable the initCause(Throwable) method was added in JDK 1.4 - its slightly more verbose, but this can be done using JDK 1.4:

        IllegalStateException ex = new IllegalStateException("..");
        ex.initCause(cause);
        throw ex;

> STR-2437 added the root cause to exceptions as much as possible in JDK 1.4, but IllegalStateException and IllegalArgumentException do not participate in this practice until JDK 5.
