Why do I get FileNotFoundException when using jdb and JDK 1.4.2?
When using jdb to debug JDBC programs with Sun JDK 1.4.2 you will get an error Exception occurred: java.io.FileNotFoundException with java.sql.Timestamp.valueOf near the top of the stack. This is the result of a JDK bug where an exception in native code in the jre is not recognized by JPDA. The workaround is to do a “cont” command in jdb.
