What is a ‘crash’? The term ‘Crash’ is rather vague, even to programmers. Typically a program is said to have crashed when it has done some or all of the following: stopped working completely, as if it had never started stops responding to user input leaves its data in an unpredictable state produces meaningless displays requires user intervention to recover normal operation leaves the complete system in an unpredictable or inoperable state
The last of these is probably the most annoying for the end user. In a well-designed computer system it should be impossible for the failure of a single program to compromise the operation of the system, but it does sometimes happen. Fortunately, it is almost impossible for a Java program to have such a drastic effect. A Java program can, however, exhibit all the other symptoms of a crash. Back to top
