FeatureInstantiationException (GeoAPI normative 3.1-SNAPSHOT)

Object
- Throwable
- - Exception
  - - RuntimeException
    - - IllegalStateException
      - FeatureInstantiationException

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class FeatureInstantiationException
extends IllegalStateException
```
Thrown when FeatureType.newInstance() is invoked but the feature can not be instantiated. The instantiation can fail for a variety of reasons including but not limited to:
- the feature type is abstract,
- the feature type definition is incomplete.
Analogy with Java reflection
if we compare FeatureType to Class and Feature to Object in the Java language, then this exception is equivalent to InstantiationException.
Since:

3.1
