Introspects the specified Throwable
to obtain the cause.
The method searches for methods with specific names that return a Throwable
object. This will pick up most wrapping exceptions, including those from JDK 1.4, and The method names can be added to using addCauseMethodName(String)

getCause()
getNextException()
getTargetException()
getException()
getSourceException()

getCausedByException()
getNested()
In the absence of any such method, the object is inspected for a detail
field assignable to a

.
If none of the above is found, returns null
.
Params: - throwable – The exception to introspect for a cause.
Throws: - NullPointerException – if the throwable is null
Returns: The cause of the Throwable
