Brad:

You catch exceptions individually -- that's just good coding because
it's pretty common that you'll need to do special code for a given
excepiton and not a different one.  It's how the language works.  If a
class or method specificly throws an exception, you've got to catch
it.

You catch exceptions, in Java, in order of "most specific" to "least
specific".  This allows for fall through code if you are working with
exceptions that extend other exceptions.
