Why does Boolean.class.newInstance() throw exception?
<p>I think the sunject's pretty self-explanatory. I use JDK 1.6.0 update 26, and created a new project with just one line to confirm this:</p>

<pre><code>Boolean.class.newInstance();
</code></pre>

<p>and it throws the following:</p>

<pre><code>Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InstantiationException: java.lang.Boolean
    at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:340)
    at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:308)
</code></pre>

<p>Does it suppose to fail? If so, why?</p>
