catching exceptions

[Robert Dougherty]

Dear Community,

Is there a way I can get a plugin manage, or at least report,  
exceptions like

Exception in thread "Thread-12" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap  
space
        at Beamformer.<init>(Beamformer.java:234)
        at Beamform_Interactive$BeamformInteractive.beamform
(Beamform_Interactive.java:2163)
        at Beamform_Interactive$BeamformInteractive.actuallyBeamform
(Beamform_Interactive.java:1780)
        at Beamform_Interactive$BeamformInteractive$2.construct
(Beamform_Interactive.java:4139)
        at SwingWorker$2.run(SwingWorker.java:106)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:637)

At the moment, the plugin just hangs.  If ImageJ was run from a  
Terminal window in OS-X, then the exception is shown there.  
Otherwise, the user has no clue what is wrong.  I don't think I want  
users to have to run Terminal.  It seems as thought this issue has  
been treated before, but I have not been able to find the discussion.

Dear Robert,

This is what I do in my plugins:

Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new UncaughtExceptionHandler() {
    public void uncaughtException(Thread t, Throwable e) {
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw, true);
        e.printStackTrace(pw);
        pw.flush();
        sw.flush();
        IJ.log(sw.toString());
    }
});

Piotr
