try catch finally

[kiruthiga arumugam]

hi to all

try{
....
System.exit(0);
}
catch(){//code ABC}


will this code ABC execute??

[marc weber]

If only there were some way to test that...

Do you have javac installed on your computer?

[Pramod P Deore]

I don't think the code in the catch() block will be excuted.
beacause after System.exit(0) the program will be terminated...

The problem with the example is the "...." could be anything. How do you know that that section of code won't throw an exception?

Are you sure about the bit saying catch() {

What is in the ()?

[Kaydell Leavitt]

Doesn't the following code not only exit the currently running program but also exits the entire JVM that the program is running in so that if there are other programs running in the same JVM that they get terminated too?

System.exit(0);

If System.exit() does exit the whole JVM what is the proper way to terminate only the current application? You can't throw an unchecked exception because that would only terminate the currently running thread, right?

I think you are right, but we haven't heard how Kiruthiga Arumugam got the class to run.
