Method Detail

install

public void install()

Description copied from class: EventDispatchExceptionHandler

Install a handler for event dispatch exceptions. This is kind of a hack, but it's Sun's hack. See the javadoc for java.awt.EventDispatchThread for details. NOTE: we throw an exception immediately, which ensures that our handler is installed, since otherwise someone might set this property later. java.awt.EventDispatchThread doesn't actually load the handler specified by the property until an exception is caught by the event dispatch thread. SwingSet2 in 1.4.1 installs its own. Note that a new instance is created for each exception thrown.

Overrides:

install in class EventDispatchExceptionHandler

getThrowable

public static Throwable getThrowable()

Return the most recent exception caught on the dispatch thread, or null if none has been thrown or the exception has been cleared. Also clears the exception.

getThrowableTime

clear

public static void clear()

exceptionCaught

protected void exceptionCaught(Throwable thr)
