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 are two ways:

1. /* Install a Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler on the EDT */
2. Set a system property: System.setProperty("sun.awt.exception.handler",MyExceptionHandler.class.getName());

I don't know if the latter works on non-SUN jvms.

Indeed, the first is not correct, it's only a mechanism for detecting a crashed thread.
