initialization exception is not wrapped by ExceptionInInitializerError

Name: szC45993 Date: 03/12/97



The Java Virtual Machine, chapter 5 Constant Pool Resolution,
section 5.1.1 Current Class or Interface Not Loaded by Class Loader, claims:

"4. Next, the class is initialized. Details of the initialization procedure are given in $2.16.5 and in The Java Language Specification.
...
If an initializer completes abruptly by throwing some exception E, and if the class of E is not Error or one of its subclasses, then a new instance of the class ExceptionInInitializerError, with E as the argument, is created and used in place of E."

Meanwhile, undermentioned test gives the following result (jdk_1.0.2):

java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
