" Throwable " is a class(it's default super class is Object) in java API. The Throwable class is the superclass of all errors and exceptions in the Java language. Only objects that are instances of this class (or one of its subclasses) are thrown by the Java Virtual Machine or can be thrown by the Java throw statement. Similarly, only this class or one of its subclasses can be the argument type in a catch clause. it's a simpe example here. public class ThrowableEx { public static void main(String[] args) { try { System.out.println(" In the Try Block"); int i=10; int j=0; int k=i/j; System.out.println("The value is : " + k); } catch(Throwable e) { System.out.println(" Caught in Throwable class"); } }}

Throwable is the super class for Error and Exception class. Throwable extends Object class. But more often you will not see the user will be extending Throwable. It is used for Handling Exception. But also when you will be catching multiple Exceptions then it is a good idea to implement this one.
