Class AwtExceptionHandlerAdapterHack

java.lang.Object
  de.schwarzrot.app.errors.support.AwtExceptionHandlerAdapterHack

public class AwtExceptionHandlerAdapterHack
extends Object

Uncaught exception handler designed to work with JDK 1.4 and 1.5's primitive API for registering exception handlers for the event thread. It's impossible to set an exception handler for the event thread in jdk 1.4 (and 1.5). See http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4714232 So this effectively only works in Sun's JDK.

Since:

0.3
