How can I catch AWT thread exceptions in Java?

Question

We\'d like a trace in our application logs of these exceptions - by default Java just outputs them to the console.

Answer 1

There is a distinction between uncaught exceptions in the EDT and outside the EDT.

Another question has a solution for both but if you want just the EDT portion chewed up...

class AWTExceptionHandler {

  public void handle(Throwable t) {
    try {
      // insert your exception handling code here
      // or do nothing to make it go away
    } catch (Throwable t) {
      // don't let the exception get thrown out, will cause infinite looping!
    }
  }

  public static void registerExceptionHandler() {
    System.setProperty('sun.awt.exception.handler', AWTExceptionHandler.class.getName())
  }
}
