Class ExceptionInInitializerError

Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public class ExceptionInInitializerError
extends LinkageError
An ExceptionInInitializerError is thrown when an uncaught exception has occurred in a static initializer or the initializer for a static variable. In general, this wraps only RuntimeExceptions, since the compiler does not allow a checked exception to be uncaught in an initializer. This exception only occurs during reflection, when a class is initialized as part of another action.
Since:
1.1
