I believe this is not a bug of the SPEC JVM98. The _202_jess calls Class#newInstance() for the `_return' class, which is an inner class of the caller. The call to newInstance() should succeed according to the specification of newInstance(): Creates a new instance of the class represented by this Class object. The class is instantiatied as if by a new expression with an empty argument list. The class is initialized if it has not already been initialized. But, as you wrote, getConstructor(<class object for `_return'>) should throw NoSuchMethodException. Thus newInstance() working correctly for inner classes cannot be implemented making use of getConstructor(), as long as access modifier of inner class is not public. > I think you've found a bug in SPECjvm. > Try reporting it to them and see what they say.
