How to throw RuntimeException (“cannot find symbol”)

Question

I\'m trying to throw an exception in my code like this:

throw RuntimeException(msg);

But when I build in NetBeans I get this error:

<         


        

Answer 1

throw new RuntimeException(msg);

unlike any other Exceptions I think RuntimeException is the only one that will not stall the program but it can still keep running and recover just print out a bunch of Exception lines? correct me if I am wrong.
