Re: [platform-swt-dev] Exception consumption during DND operations

[Veronika_Irvine@xxxxxxx]

There is a bug report about this:

http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=4811

The bottom line is if DND does not "eat" the exceptions, the application will GP/hang.  To whom would the exception be thrown because the error is in the application code which DND called triggered by a callback from the OS?

What you need to do is wrap your event handlers in throw and catch and verify that in your code no exception is thrown.

SWT currently consumes throwables silently in some of the bowels of DND.
This seems like a bad idea since debugging such exceptions can be **very**
difficult.  Perhaps some OS cleanup is necessary, and thus the catch block,
but can those exceptions be re-thrown after the proper teardown has
completed?
