Absolutely right, forgot that there are the 4 standard exeptions, 
bad_alloc, bad_cast, bad_typeid, bad_exception.  We could do something 
like this in vtkJavaAwt.h or vtkJavaUtils and propogate them up to 
java.  The only ones that make any sense to implement would be bad_alloc 
and bad_exception.  Any comments?  Seems like a good thing to have.  I 
could take a stab at it sometime and post back when its ready,
