Perhaps the chained exception constructor would also be useful. I can imagine that whatever was parsing the signature might throw an exception with it's parse state that could then be captured (without needing to use initCause()) in the thrown GenericSignatureFormatError

Hi Mike.

At least as currently used in the JDK, the String constructor would suffice -- there are no causal exceptions in how the signature parser is coded.

(If we were to add a third constructor taking a cause, we should also add a fourth constructor taking a cause and a message.)
