Was Throwable class ever abstract?

Pavel_Kisliuk :

I often meet people, who think Throwable class is abstract class. Till this day, I thought it was abstract early 9 Java, when I'd started learn it, but I red documentation of 8, 7, 6, 5 Java and class Throwable is concrete there. I couldn't find more early documentation and thought, may be anybody tell me here, was Throwable class ever abstract?

Elliott Frisch :

The oldest reference I have on the subject is the 1996 first edition Java in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference for Java Programmers (available here) by David Flanagan on page 327

public class Throwable extends Object

So no. Since Java 1.0 it has been a concrete class.
