Question

What options do I have to do minimalist crash reporting in an unsigned applet?

I cannot use an UncaughtExceptionHandler because of permissions (I just tested), but at least I’d like to show something that the user can report to me. Pretty sure I cannot send an email, but at least showing a callstack would be nice. During beta testing, most exceptions are not fatal enough to prevent that.

• Would you put a try–catch at several strategic places?
• Any reasonable way to catch exceptions thrown on the Event Dispatch Thread?

Would you put a try-catch at several strategic places?

Yes. There are very few other options for a sand-boxed app.
