Wouldn't LinkageException be a better fit than ReflectiveOperationException? Shorter name and it would mimic the LinkageError inheritance tree introduced in JDK1.0\. I.E. LinkageError -> NoClassDefFoundError, LinkageException -> ClassNotFoundException

I would think throwing UndeclaredThrowableException would be better than InternalError.
