EVALUATION vm/instr/new/new002/new00201m1/new00201m1.html From JVM Spec: InstantiationError: A symbolic reference has been encountered that is used in a class instance creation expression, but an instance cannot be created because the reference turns out to refer to an interface or to an abstract class. This can occur, for example, if a class that is originally not abstract is changed to be abstract after another class that refers to the class in question has been compiled.

[Test is wrong] robertg@east 2001-03-26 All listed tests are valid. These tests are failing due to incorrect behavior of java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke() method (bug report #4428861). Therefore this bug may be closed as duplicate of 4428861.
