JDK-4136344 - (1.1) javah on just java.lang.Throwable fails
Description
If the file DhSQLException.java, (see attachment) is javac using JDK 1.1.6 it compiles with out errors.  Then when you try to generate a header using javah com.progress.sql.sp.DhSQLException, (still using JDK 1.1.6) the following errors are seen.


Signalled error "java/lang/ClassFormatError" with detail "Bad interface index"
Signalled error "java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError" with detail 
"java/lang/Throwable"
Signalled error "java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError" with detail 
"java/lang/Exception"
com/progress/sql/sp/DhSQLException: no such class

This does not happen with JDK 1.1.5.

WORK AROUND If you put java.lang.Class first before resolving other classes then everything works. For example: javah java.lang.Class com.progress.sql.sp.DhSQLException also see bug report 4136344 charles.salemme@East 1998-06-16
