Possible to determine exception thrown in a finally block?

Question

I believe the answer to this is 'no', but I thought I would ask just to confirm.
If an exception is thrown in a try block, is there a way in the finally block to determine what exception was thrown? I tried using Throwable#fillinStackTrace and Thread#getStackTrace and did not get anywhere. I did see other methods like Thread#getAllStackTraces and perhaps going up to a parent ThreadGroup and inspecting other child Thread instances, but at least in my debugger, I did not see anything useful.
The basic idea I am trying to achieve is to detect if an exception is thrown in the try, if yes, chain any exception thrown in the finally block to the original exception. I know I can do this on a case-by-case basis by storing the exception caught and then manually chaining it in the finally block. I was looking for something more generic/applicable to all finally blocks.
Thanks.

Thanks JSchell, have done that many times in the past.
I was looking for a more generic (not generics) solution to the problem. So that an error handler could be written to automatically chain exceptions thrown in the finally clause (granted, one still needs to invoke the error handler). My hope was the stack in the finally clause would look different if an exception was thrown in the try block versus none at all.
