Class ThreadDeath

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
@Deprecated(since="20", forRemoval=true) public class ThreadDeath extends Error
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
Thread.stop() was originally specified to "stop" a victim thread by causing the victim thread to throw a ThreadDeath. It was inherently unsafe and deprecated in an early JDK release. The ability to "stop" a thread with Thread.stop has been removed and the Thread.stop method changed to throw an exception. Consequently, ThreadDeath is also deprecated, for removal.
An instance of ThreadDeath was originally specified to be thrown by a victim thread when "stopped" with Thread.stop().
Since:
1.0
