public class BioException
extends java.lang.Exception

A general perpose Exception that can wrap another exception.

It is common practice in BioJava to throw a BioException or a subclass of it when something goes wrong. The exception can be used to catch another throwable, thus keeping a complete record of where the original error originated while adding annotation to the stack-trace. It also affords a neat way to avoid exception-bloat on method calls, particularly when objects are composed from several objects from different packages.
