de.gebit.integrity.exceptions.ThisShouldNeverHappenException

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class ThisShouldNeverHappenException
extends java.lang.IllegalStateException

This exception is thrown in various situations which "should never happen", that is, situations in which all other execution paths should technically cover all possible alternatives, but one cannot mathematically guarantee that this is actually the case, or in which future extensions might open up new code paths not detectable by Eclipse. Throwing this exception might not be the best solution; guaranteeing that all paths are covered is always better, but sometimes that's just not possible.
