Looks fine.

As per private email (but repeated here on the record) in java.c:

715     if ((*env)->ExceptionOccurred(env)) {
1716       JLI_ReportExceptionDescription(env);
1717     }

I don't think we need to report the exception, but can just ignore it. 
Either way we have to clear the exception before continuing.

Thanks,
David
