    `IllegalStateException​(String message, Throwable cause)` | Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### IllegalStateException

          public IllegalStateException()

      Constructs an IllegalStateException with no detail message. A detail message is a String that describes this particular exception.

    - #### IllegalStateException

          public IllegalStateException​(String s)

      Constructs an IllegalStateException with the specified detail message. A detail message is a String that describes this particular exception.
      Parameters:
        `s` - the String that contains a detailed message

    - #### IllegalStateException

          public IllegalStateException​(String message,
                                       Throwable cause)

      Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause.

      Note that the detail message associated with `cause` is not automatically incorporated in this exception's detail message.

      Parameters:
        `message` - the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getMessage()` method).
        `cause` - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

    - #### IllegalStateException

          public IllegalStateException​(Throwable cause)

      Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`). This constructor is useful for exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables (for example, `PrivilegedActionException`).
      Parameters:
        `cause` - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
