Yes, static block can throw only Runtime exception or can use a try-catch block to catch checked exception.
Typically scenario will be if JDBC connection is created in static block and it fails then exception can be caught, logged and application can exit. If System.exit() is not done, then application may continue and next time if the class is referred JVM will throw NoClassDefFounderror since the class was not loaded by the Classloader.
Can a static block throw exception?

Hey i tried to throw an exception from static block but got a compilation error “Initializer does not complete normally”
Here is the code snippet
static {
throw new RuntimeException(“This is an exception”);
}
Try this:
static {
int a=0;
if(a==0)
throw new RuntimeException(“This is an exception”);
}
very helpful! Thanks
