Better still might be for initSystemClassLoader to re-throw the cause so that it appears immediately after the "Error occurred during initialization of VM" message that the VM will fail with.

Yes that would be better. So would I do this for RuntimeException and Error, and then package checked types of causes in an Error, as Mandy suggested? (We don't want to throw a checked exception from initSystemClassLoader(), I don't think.) Anyway, this is what that looks like (I did RuntimeException, but didn't bother with Error). I also made the test changes that Mandy suggested. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bchristi/8187222/webrev.01/index.html

Yes and I think should also rethrow the cause if the cause is an Error (why not)
