The idea would of course be to improve on Sun's error messages
where possible. For instance, this program:
// Cast.java
public class Cast {
public static void main(String []av) {
Object o = new Integer(42);
Byte b = (Byte)o;
}
}
outputs under Sun's JDK:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Integer
at Cast.main(Cast.java:5)
Kaffe's output is more informative:
java.lang.ClassCastException: can't cast `java/lang/Integer' to `java/lang/Byte'
at Cast.main(Cast.java:5)
(Especially when you get into classloaders and reflection.)
