Think I figured it out. The endorsed lib is screwing things up. Have not gone into detail yet.

I have a strange problem using Java 1.8. Everything works great for Karaf 2.4.0 and Karaf 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT, except the following code: public final class ExceptionProblem { public static void testException() throws Exception { throw new ProblematicException( new RuntimeException() ); } public static final class ProblematicException extends Exception { public ProblematicException( final Throwable cause ) { super( "Exception message!", cause, false, false ); } } } Here it's using a protected constructor in RuntimeException with <String, Throwable, Boolean, Boolean> signature. In Karaf 2.4.0 and Karaf 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT (and also Karaf 3.0.1 with newer ASM) it fails with "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.lang.Exception: method <init>(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Throwable;ZZ)V not found" exception. I have ensured that Java 8 is running so it's not that it's running a different VM. Have also tried Felix 4.4.1 directly and here it works. Seems to me that this is a Karaf (or related Karaf bundles) problem. I could just use another constructor here, but this code is actually deep inside Nashorn so it's no option to actually change the code. Also, this is actually not a problem if it extends Throwable instead of Exception. Anyone that can give me some pointers to where to look or tweek? BR, Sten Roger
