It looks like there are two RuntimeFault classes (one of which extends Throwable indirectly).
com.vmware.vim.RuntimeFault is not a Throwable. com.vmware.vim25.RuntimeFault is a Throwable. The funny part is the sample code I have is not using com.vmware.vim25 at all, yet it uses RuntimeFault as a Throwable.
