Custom Exception class shows Unreachable catch block everytime

Question

I\'ve created a custom Exception class that I want to use in my application:

public class MyException extends Exception {
    private static final long serialVer         


        

Answer 1

Obviously, you are not doing anything that'd generate a MyException. First write a method with the signature throws MyException, call it and then your problem is solved. Here is an example:

public void someMethod()throws MyException
{
    //some condition here.
    //if met..
    throw new MyException("cause");
}

and modify your main code as:

try {
    someMethod();
    System.out.println("this");
} catch (MyException  e) {
    // TODO: handle exception
}
