Caught exceptions page

The Exceptions page in the Debugger Browser contains a list of exception. Select exception types which, when thrown during a program's execution, will  suspend execution and open the debugger browser.  Normally, only uncaught exceptions open the debugger;  exceptions selected here open it, even if the code catches them.

To select an exception, enable its checkbox.  To deselect or select all the exceptions listed, use the Uncheck All and Check All options in the pop-up menu.

If you select  Sort by class name from the pop-up menu, the exceptions are listed according to their class names, with their package names listed after. If you select Sort by package name from the pop-up menu, they are ordered by package name first, followed by class name. If you select Sort by hierarchy from the pop-up menu, the exceptions are listed by hierarchy.
