     -------
+    - Java HDF5LibraryException class
+
+      The error minor and major values would be lost after the
+      constructor executed.
+
+      Created two local class variables to hold the values obtained during
+      execution of the constructor. Refactored the class functions to retrieve
+      the class values rather then calling the native functions.
+      The native functions were renamed and called only during execution
+      of the constructor.
+      Added error checking to calling class constructors in JNI classes.
