java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError (JDK 1.1)

This error is thrown by the Java Virtual Machine when an exception occurs in the static initializer of a class. You can use the getException() method to obtain the Throwable object that was thrown from the initializer.

public class ExceptionInInitializerError extends LinkageError {
 // Public Constructors public ExceptionInInitializerError();
public ExceptionInInitializerError(Throwable thrown);
public ExceptionInInitializerError(String s); // Public Instance Methods public Throwable getException();
}
