public class java.lang.ThreadDeath
extends java.lang.Error (§1.46)
{
public ThreadDeath(); §1.57.1
}
An instance of ThreadDeath is thrown in the victim thread when the stop method with
zero arguments (§1.19.37) in class Thread is called.
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 will actually die.
ThreadDeath is never caught.
ThreadDeath is specifically a subclass of Error rather than Exception, even
though it is a “normally occurrence, ” becuase many applications catch all occurrences of
Exception and then discard the exception.
