The description of ClassCircularityError is "Thrown when a circularity has been detected while initializing a class." Strictly, it is thrown when a class definition is built by defineClass (JVMS 2ed 5.3.5) - initializing a class is quite different. I suggest "Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine detects a circularity in the superclass hierarchy of a class being loaded."
