Hi Arvind, ExceptionInInitializerError is a fatal error since it is a linkage error which means that the ClassLoader may be broken.
This is what the JavaDoc for java.lang.Error says: " An Error is a subclass of Throwable that indicates serious problems that a reasonable application should not try to catch." The exit on error logic is the UnhandledExceptionHandler that Akka installs for all threads it creates, so all Throwables that bubble up thru the firat stackframe gets dealt with. If you know that it is safe to proceed after this Error, you can try-catch around where it happens and rethrow the cause instead.
