Class ExceptionInInitializerError

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Throwable
java.lang.Error
java.lang.LinkageError
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
public class ExceptionInInitializerError extends LinkageError

Signals that an unexpected exception has occurred in a static initializer.

Present so an interpreted class initializer can fail the way Java says it fails: the first touch of a class whose <clinit> threw reports this, and every touch after it reports NoClassDefFoundError. Without the type, a pushed program's catch (ExceptionInInitializerError e) names a class the device does not have.
