Description

Consider the following:

void test(args) {
  try {
    args.name
  } catch (e) {
    print(e)
  }
}

Set a breakpoint within the catch block and try to evaluate an expression with "e" like: e.printStackTrace()

The debugger complains that "printStackTrace" is not a method of java.lang.Object.
