ThreadDeath
open class ThreadDeath : Error
An instance of ThreadDeath
is thrown in the victim thread when the (deprecated) Thread#stop()
method is invoked.
An application should catch instances of this class only if it must clean up after being terminated asynchronously. If ThreadDeath
is caught by a method, it is important that it be rethrown so that the thread actually dies.
The handler does not print out a message if ThreadDeath
is never caught.
The class ThreadDeath
is specifically a subclass of Error
rather than Exception
, even though it is a "normal occurrence", because many applications catch all occurrences of Exception
and then discard the exception.
