public class FatalStateException extends UnreachableCodeException

A FatalStateException is a specialized IllegalStateException to emphasize the fatal seriousness of the program state.

It is intended for situations where the programmer would favor the program to shut down or restart because a fatal damage of internal structures or a fatal violation of internal preconditions signal that the program is completely out of the intended state and therefore the future behavior is unpredictable and business data can be lost or damaged.

It is intended to immediately grab the attention of an administrator, supporter, developer and so on and alarm them about an extremely serious problem that is critical for the system and much more dangerous than a "simple" software bug.

Therefore it should be used very sparsely!
