public class ThreadDeath extends Error
An instance ofThreadDeathis 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
ThreadDeathis caught by a method, it is important that it be rethrown so that the thread actually dies.The top-level error handler does not print out a message if
ThreadDeathis never caught.The class
ThreadDeathis specifically a subclass ofErrorrather thanException, even though it is a "normal occurrence", because many applications catch all occurrences ofExceptionand then discard the exception.- Since:
