So, I recently had a situation where I had a NoClassDefFoundError in production but not in dev. It is associated with an exception in a static initializer, though I'm running the details of that down now.

The reason I ask: does companion object { init { throw Whatever() } } result in a really opaque NoClassDefFoundError the same way it would in a similar java class Thingy { static { throw Whatever()} }? Does the object syntax with INSTANCE field initialization get us anything?
