MyException should be a class name that defined custom exception. Here is an example of user-defiend exception.

class MyException extends Exception 
{ 
    public MyException(String message)         
    {  
        super(message);        
    }      
}

class CustomException{
   public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception    
    {          
         for(int i=1;i<=5;i++)       
        {              
            System.out.println("i= "+i);           
            if(i==3)           
            {                  
              throw new MyException("My Exception Occurred");              
            }          
        }        

    }
}
