Should trying to compile this code (without an import for java.math)
produce the following error?

I realize of course that the import should be required for compilation
but I was wondering if that stack trace was intentional.

thanks

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        BigInteger b1 = new BigInteger("5");
        System.out.println(b2);
