Afaict, no. Consider VirtualMachineError or InternalError. See also the
JVM spec:
"The class Error and its standard subclasses are exceptions from which
ordinary programs are not ordinarily expected to recover. The class
Error is a separate subclass of Throwable, distinct from Exception in
the class hierarchy, in order to allow programs to use the idiom
} catch (Exception e) {
to catch all exceptions from which recovery may be possible without
catching errors from which recovery is typically not possible. "
