### constructor:IllegalArgumentException() [NONE]
### IllegalArgumentException public IllegalArgumentException() Constructs an `IllegalArgumentException` with no detail message.

### constructor:IllegalArgumentException(java.lang.String) [NONE]
### IllegalArgumentException public IllegalArgumentException?(String s) Constructs an `IllegalArgumentException` with the specified detail message. Parameters: `s` - the detail message.

### constructor:IllegalArgumentException(java.lang.String,java.lang.Throwable) [NONE]
### IllegalArgumentException public IllegalArgumentException?(String message, Throwable cause) Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause. Note that the detail message associated with `cause` is not automatically incorporated in this exception's detail message. Parameters: `message` - the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getMessage()` method). `cause` - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.) Since: 1.5

### constructor:IllegalArgumentException(java.lang.Throwable) [NONE]
### IllegalArgumentException public IllegalArgumentException?(Throwable cause) Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`). This constructor is useful for exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables (for example, `PrivilegedActionException`). Parameters: `cause` - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.) Since: 1.5
