Re:Java Exceptions (Score 1)

try using java.lang.reflect.Method

Which is a decent idea, but if you don't have ReflectPermission set in the JVM, you can't do it.

Considering the reflective classes are essentially a form of language extension, you would've thought Sun would've created a Permission object that would allow prevent access to private fields and methods (therefore being useful, and still OO)....

And while I'm whinging, anyone want to tell me what the point of CloneNotSupportedException is? Because I think the clone method is one badly defined method, and one of the problems with Java is if you're going to define a bunch of classes which are going to be used by everyone who uses the language, you should code the classes properly. a not so interesting wombchimp.
