To take a pattern from Spring Binding (which may have taken it from 
elsewhere), you can keep a list of the caught exceptions, and then at 
the end of your method if that list is not empty, throw a new exception 
which contains the list.

BTW, the stack-trace will only be on the c.wait() line, since that is 
where the interrupted exception will be thrown.  This does not help you 
know who interrupted you unexpectedly.

Do you really have a use-case for uninterruptableWait? Perhaps you 
should instead have a different approach to interrupting that thread. 
An interrupt is often a result of a user-action, and ignoring it will 
make users mad.  It may also be the case that the interrupt was caused 
because something else failed, and waiting no longer is useful.

I'd be curious to read your use case.  I've written similar code in the 
past, and have since realized it was misguided.

Good luck,
Daniel.
