Hi Sean,  the summary says that the test is about  "java.security Exceptions" so  javax.net.ssl.SSLException.java from another package might not fit in, maybe that's why it was commented out.
Should I still add it ? If so, the  summary comment might need a little bit adjustment, what about this "Test constructors for exception chaining of  security-related exceptions"  ?
