except that it won't compile, as Stefan hinted.

For starters, for the same reason the other one doesn't.

Please reply with a copy-and-paste of the output from 'javac' on these idioms, placed into an SSCCE, of course. 

A minor point unrelated to your major question - you never have to specify 'java.lang' for the types in that package.  Just 'Runtime' will do nicely, thank you.
