Will a java exception terminate the whole java application?

Question

I used to think that when an exception happened, the whole java application will be terminated. For example, I write a test function to test my idea.

public void         


        

Answer 1

If an exception is not caught with catch, the thread in which the exception occurred will be terminated. If no non-daemon threads remain the JVM will terminate. That's the only way how an exception might terminate a JVM. If you catch an exception it will never cause a JVM termination.
