If an error / exeption is thrown in a thread (not a main one) can this halt the whole application ?
Is there such possibility ? Or will this just stop the thread it was running in ?

It will if it causes the only non-daemon thread to return from
run()If there are other non-daemon threads running or the exception or error is caught and handled, the application will keep running.
if the exception or error is caught and handled it might not stop any threads.
