Say you've caught a RuntimeException e:
if (e.getClass().getName().equals("gnu.classpath.NYIException")) { // do the classpath dance }
can compile just fine against any not-gnu-classpath-using VM. You could use reflection, too, but there is no need here.
e.getClass().getName() *is* reflection in my book :-)
Kind of ;) I think it's been around since java 1.0, so it would predate the reflection APIs that ararived with java 1.1, AFAIK. ;)
