>          Issue Type: Feature Request

> The method javassist.runtime.Desc.getClazz(String) throws an RuntimeException if the given class name cannot be resolved. The message of that exception is "$class: internal error". So, if that exception is thrown in an own project, the developer hasn't a clue about the reason.
> I suggest the following message:
> 	public static Class getClazz(String name) {
> 		try {
> 			return getClassObject(name);
> 		} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
> 			throw new RuntimeException(
> 					"$class: internal error, could not find class '" + name
> 							+ "' (Desc.useContextClassLoader: "
> 							+ Boolean.toString(useContextClassLoader) + ")", e);
> 		}
> 	}
> The message should include the state of Desc.useContextClassLoader to warn the developer that there could be a problem with different class loaders.
