According to this link, you have to handle both regular Exception and EDT Exception without using the old sun.awt.exception.handler hack (which does not work anymore since Java 7)

Here is your ExceptionHandler

public static class ExceptionHandler implements Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler
{
    public void uncaughtException(Thread thread, Throwable thrown)
    {
        // TODO handle your Exception here
    }
}

Usage :

// Regular Exception
Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new ExceptionHandler());

// EDT Exception
SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable()
{
    public void run()
    {
        // We are in the event dispatching thread
        Thread.currentThread().setUncaughtExceptionHandler(new ExceptionHandler());
    }
});
