The general theme is that we do the "right thing" for new types like 
j.l.r.Executable, rather than going for consistency at all costs. So, 
we've decided to throw an unchecked exception class from getParameters() 
when the class file is bad.

The open issue is whether it should be a run-time exception class or an 
error class.
