Remarks

Thrown when an application tries to create an instance of a class using the newInstance method in class Class, but the specified class object cannot be instantiated. The instantiation can fail for a variety of reasons including but not limited to:

<ul> <li> the class object represents an abstract class, an interface, an array class, a primitive type, or void<li> the class has no nullary constructor </ul>
