Re: java.lang.VirtualMachineError: Illegal CONSTANT_Class reference

Going slightly nutso here...
I'm working on a MIDP Java project. It compiles fine, but at runtime I get the following:

java.lang.VirtualMachineError: Illegal CONSTANT_Class reference

This happens when I assign a newly instantiated object to a private class member. I've googled for this error, and found a few scant references to it, but couldn't glean much about it.

If I use Antenna with ant to build the project it doesn't seem to have this problem (not entirely surprisingly).
Does this ring any bells with anyone?


The nitty gritty details:
Using EclipseME plugin in Eclipse 3.1.2 with the Sun Wireless Toolkit 2.2.
(Project settings: compiler compliance level 1.4, .class file compatabillity set to 1.1, source compatability is 1.3.)

The Javadocs say: "VirtualMachineError: Thrown to indicate that the Java Virtual Machine is broken or has run out of resources necessary for it to continue operating."

Could it be that you've found a bug in the JVM you're using?
