Is there a real use case for this? Within Jackrabbit the BaseException class is used like this only to catch the different exceptions in o.a.j.name. A more specific base class like o.a.j.name.NameException would be much better in those cases. Outside Jackrabbit this would only be useful to external components that invoke the Jackrabbit internals and to implementations that extend or otherwise use the Jackrabbit core. Even these cases would probably be better served by more specific exception base classes.
