Build Identifier: EGL Development Tools (EDT) 0.7.0.v201110232102

When you declare a timestamp in the format MMdd as February 29, an exception is thrown which indicates "An error occurred while creating an object of the java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError". This stack trace (attached) hides the error that you cannot declare a MMdd timestamp for February 29 because of the default year 0. In fact, the stack trace only mentions that it cannot be converted to the type timestamp, and this message appears only after the error regarding the creation of the java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError type. The timestamp error should be just a single line rather than a whole stack trace

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. declare a timestamp like this:
const febLeapTimeStampMDDate timeStamp("MMdd") = "0229";
2. generate java EGL Test Driver
3. Run the generated java program

see EGLDate007.egl in org.eclipse.edt.eunit.test/api.eglx_lang
an exception like the one attached will be thrown
