Custom Exception class shows Unreachable catch block everytime

Question

I\'ve created a custom Exception class that I want to use in my application:

public class MyException extends Exception {
    private static final long serialVer         


        

Answer 1

Can you try with:

try {
    System.out.println("this");
    throw new MyException();
} catch (MyException  e) {
    // TODO: handle exception
}

Your exception wasn't thrown anywhere in the code. (try extending RuntimeException as another option)
