RepositoryException overrides getCause but not initCause

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

    Throwable cause = new Exception("root cause");
    Throwable t = new RepositoryException();
    t.initCause(cause);
    return t.getCause();

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

This code should return the value of "cause", but instead it returns null. The 
getCause method only returns a cause passed to the constructor, and not a cause 
passed to initCause. This is because the constructors and getCause use a local 
field, but initCause is not overridden and returns the null cause from the 
super class.
