[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (ANN-770) Confusing error when missing default constructor

Confusing error when missing default constructor ------------------------------------------------ Key: ANN-770 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-770 Project: Hibernate Annotations Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.3.1.GA Reporter: Miguel Griffa if a persistent class X is missing the default constructor, instead of reporting the missing default constructor in class X, I obtained a noclassdeffound for a class Y, referenced in class X, which was oviously in classpath. this incorrect error message is very misleading in a debug session. if this problem can't be reproduced easily in current test base please indicate so, I'll try to reproduce my environment.
