public class ThreadDeath extends Error
An instance ofThreadDeath
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 top-level error handler does not print out a message if
ThreadDeath
is never caught.The class
ThreadDeath
is specifically a subclass ofError
rather thanException
, even though it is a "normal occurrence", because many applications catch all occurrences ofException
and then discard the exception.- Since:
