Awesome! I'll put my whole application within that block!

They're discussing .Net, not Java.

He was talking about the .NET environment where running a thread within "try, catch, finally" doesn't bubble up any exceptions which occur within that thread. The exception has to be caught within the actual thread, not the parent thread which spawned it.
Admin
Uh...maybe I missed something, but aren't we talking about .NET - I'm sure that other languages have different implementations (i.e. your example is in Java)

I have been burned by that one. I discovered the hard way that pressing the 'X' close button on a console window is equivalent to killing the process. I thought surely it would die gracefully, but, no.
Admin
If you read the original post, the author mentioned .Net 1.0 - not Java. So while Java will fire off the finally event, that does not mean .Net will.
