Yes. 15.17.2:
On the other hand, if the value of the divisor in an integer
division is 0, then an ArithmeticException is thrown.
Which the Jacks people interpreted as a run-time check. As a matter of

goes to far and should limit its action to integral types. I caught
that yesterday as I was trying to build mauve -- a patch should follow
shortly once I get Mauve to build.
