Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:ThreadDeath [NONE]
All Implemented Interfaces: `Serializable` public class ThreadDeath extends Error An instance of `ThreadDeath` is thrown in the victim thread when the (deprecated) `Thread.stop()` method is invoked. 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 actually dies. The top-level error handler does not print out a message if `ThreadDeath` is never caught. The class `ThreadDeath` is specifically a subclass of `Error` rather than `Exception`, even though it is a "normal occurrence", because many applications catch all occurrences of `Exception` and then discard the exception. Since: 1.0 See Also: Serialized Form

### constructor:ThreadDeath() [NONE]
### ThreadDeath public ThreadDeath() Constructs a `ThreadDeath`.
