Just a guess. If you use the same variable name for the three cases does
it work then?

When I was writing up this toy example with NetBeans 11.2:
int dividend = 47;
int divisor = 0;
try {
int result = dividend / divisor;
System.out.println(dividend + " / " + divisor + " = " +
result);
} catch (ArithmeticException ae) {
System.out.println(ae.getMessage());
} catch (RuntimeException re) {
System.out.println(re.getMessage ());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage ());
}
I thought NetBeans would suggest multi-catch. This is definitely not a
shining example of how to handle exceptions, and the IDE should be
smart enough to recognize the three exceptions are being handled
exactly alike. On the other hand, the point of this toy example is to
show how the inheritance hierarchy affects the ordering of the Catch
clauses, and perhaps NetBeans thinks these are placeholders for more
specialized exception handlers I'll get around to writing later.
In another toy example, involving IllegalArgumentException and
ArithmeticException, I do see that NetBeans 11.2 does suggest multi-catch.
