public class ThreadDeath
extends Error

An instance of `ThreadDeath` is thrown in the victim thread when the `stop` method with zero arguments in class `Thread` is called.

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:
  JDK1.0
