Java – why is there no outofmemoryerror subclass?

As we all know, outofmemoryerror has many reasons (see first answer) Why does only one exception cover all of these cases instead of multiple fine-grained exceptions inherited from outofmemoryerror?

I know that Tomcat tried to do the "out of memory parachute" thing. They grabbed a large piece of memory and tried to release it, but I'm not sure how it worked
