Hi Rodrigo,

we've had the same problem. Unfortunately there are several places where
you have to handle uncaught exceptions.
1. Uncaught EventLoop Exceptions are passed to the WorkbenchAdvisor
2. Eclipse makes heavy use of so called ISafeRunnable. When these fail
their runner will be notified. You can register your own
SafeRunnableRunner with SafeRunnable.setRunner(ISaveRunnableRunner)
3. At this time you have no chance of getting a grip of the expcetion
when Jobs fail. See and vote for Bug 111852
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=111852

There might be more ...

We've already developed an exception handler that allows registration of
handlers by extension-point and code. It's already hooked in all places
we could find to handle errors. You might want to have a look or reuse
this, its LGPL. SVN:
https://svn.jfire.org/svn/main/trunk/org.nightlabs.base the the package
org.nightlabs.base.exceptionhandler

Best regards
Alex

Cool, thanks

I use to have a framework built over Swing, and now Im starting write one
over swt. I use to have too a ActionListener implementation who throws
Exception and it was captured and handled internally. Maybe I can do that
aproach. But I still have to study in deep user actions in swt.

thanks a lot
