To add an exception to your code:
For example, java.lang.ThreadDeath throws an exception when the thread terminates.
The Java WorkShop adds the exception at the top of the scrolling list.
The WorkShop supports three types of exception settings.
By default, the Debugger allows a program written to catch and recover from certain exceptions and to continue to operate correctly without stopping. If, you have no recovery code of your own, as in a NullPointerException, Java simply prints a dump of the exception and stops your program. The Debugger, however, stops your program and treats it as if you had hit a breakpoint.
You can change an exception's setting by selecting the exception and then clicking the button of the desired setting.
