How has custom exceptions changed in recent Java versions?

In recent Java versions, the handling and creation of custom exceptions have seen some enhancements. While the foundational principles of custom exceptions remain the same, developers can now employ modern features of Java, such as records (introduced in Java 14) to create more concise and immutable exception classes. This has made custom exceptions easier to maintain and understand.

Example of Custom Exception in Java

public class CustomException extends Exception { public CustomException(String message) { super(message); } } class Example { public static void main(String[] args) { try { throw new CustomException("This is a custom exception"); } catch (CustomException e) { System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } } }
