> In Java in particular, the class of the exception may mean more than it's message (e.g., NullPointerException has no message). but in standard_exception_handling only the message is printed. (my scenario was that trying to run javac resulted in a message: com/sun/tools/javac/Main which was meaningless to me. adding a print of the class showed it was NoClassDefFoundError, which explained that the environment is not set up correctly)
