There are a quite a few instances in the code where no message is passed to the throwable, e.g. throw new RuntimeException() throw new NullPointerException() In other cases, the text is meaningless, so might as well not be there, e.g. throw new Error("TIFFImageEncoder2"); It would help if meaningful messages were provided.
