An Exception that freaked me out

During the execution of one of my programs I got multiple java exceptions (From java's code itself) when getting a value from a table cell.

So I wrapped the DefaultTableModel into another class

Code:

---

import java.util.EmptyStackException;
import java.util.Vector;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;

public class TempTableModel extends DefaultTableModel
{
        private static final long serialVersionUID = -2618201765315591851L;

        public TempTableModel(Object[][] data, Object[] columnNames)
        {
                super(data, columnNames);
        }

        public TempTableModel(Vector data, Vector columnNames)
        {
                super(data, columnNames);
        }

        public TempTableModel(Object[] columnNames, int rowCount)
        {
                super(columnNames, rowCount);
        }

        public TempTableModel(Vector columnNames, int rowCount)
        {
                super(columnNames, rowCount);
        }

        public TempTableModel(int rowCount, int columnCount)
        {
                super(rowCount, columnCount);
        }

        public TempTableModel()
        {
        }

        @Override
        public Object getValueAt(int row, int column)
        {
                try
                {
                        return super.getValueAt(row, column);
                }
                catch (java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ex)
                {
                        throw ex;
                }
        }
}

---

I use Netbeans by the way, so I added a break point to the {throw ex} line and.. well, it stopped. Unfortunately I added a watch to the value {super.getValueAt(row, column)}.

Thought I'd get an Exception but instead I got a value, and a correct value.
I looked at the Thread pool and there were 3 threads running, only one of them (the current) had anything to do with the table's data.

In the name of all cakes, what's going on

Sorry, I forgot to mention I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 beta, with java 1.5.0_18
And when I tried my code on Windows Vista, there were no exceptions
