Package
Description
Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java
programming language.
Provides classes and interfaces for obtaining reflective information about
classes and objects.

Uses of LinkageError in java.lang
Modifier and TypeClassDescriptionclass
Thrown when an application tries to call an abstract method.class
Thrown to indicate that aninvokedynamic
instruction or a dynamic constant failed to resolve its bootstrap method and arguments, or forinvokedynamic
instruction the bootstrap method has failed to provide a call site with a target of the correct method type, or for a dynamic constant the bootstrap method has failed to provide a constant value of the required type.class
Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine detects a circularity in the superclass hierarchy of a class being loaded.class
Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a class file and determines that the file is malformed or otherwise cannot be interpreted as a class file.class
Signals that an unexpected exception has occurred in a static initializer.class
Thrown if an application attempts to access or modify a field, or to call a method that it does not have access to.class
Thrown when an incompatible class change has occurred to some class definition.class
Thrown when an application tries to use the Javanew
construct to instantiate an abstract class or an interface.class
Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine or aClassLoader
instance tries to load in the definition of a class (as part of a normal method call or as part of creating a new instance using thenew
expression) and no definition of the class could be found.class
Thrown if an application tries to access or modify a specified field of an object, and that object no longer has that field.class
Thrown if an application tries to call a specified method of a class (either static or instance), and that class no longer has a definition of that method.class
Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine cannot find an appropriate native-language definition of a method declarednative
.class
Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a class file and determines that the major and minor version numbers in the file are not supported.class
Thrown when the "verifier" detects that a class file, though well formed, contains some sort of internal inconsistency or security problem. -
Uses of LinkageError in java.lang.reflect
Modifier and TypeClassDescriptionclass
Thrown when a syntactically malformed signature attribute is encountered by a reflective method that needs to interpret the generic signature information for a class or interface, method or constructor.
