Funny, because java.io.FileNotFoundException is derived from

Did you notice the "io" package name? :-) The exceptions here are
about resources, not IO.
So what? java.io.IOException means *any* exception with *any* I/O,
be it file, socket, keyboard, courier pigeon, whatever.
If RestletException were to exist, then *any* exception with *any*
resource, be it a file on a local disk, or some other abstract
resource, would be appropriate. Would calling it ResourceException
make it make more sense to you?
