I have a try/catch block where there are three catches.

The first two catches are both subclasses of the Exception of the third catch, 
but there are additional subclasses of it as well, but Eclipse is stating 
that "Catch block is hidden by another one in the same try statement" and 
highlighting the third catch.

What are the declared exceptions thrown by AgentListener.retrieveServerVersion
() ?

This warning is an optional diagnosis which can be turned off. But usually it 
is a good indication (meaning you can discard the offending catch block).

Good catch, sorry about that, the call to retrieveServerVersion is declared to 
only return the two subclassed exceptions.
