A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The ByteBuffer class doesn't allow further extention. The
ByteBuffer class contains only package private constructors
and even has a few abstract package private methods so that
extending from the class is not possible if the subclass is
not in the java.nio package.

Possible reason for allowing extending from ByteBuffer:
Implement a SequenceByteBuffer that simulatates ByteBuffer
behaviour externally but reads/writes from/to a number of
different ByteBuffers.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
