Java: Global Exception Handler

Question

Is there a way to make a global exception-handler in Java. I want to use like this:

"When an exception is thrown somewhere in the WHOLE program, exit." 

The handler may not catch exceptions thrown in a try-catch body.

Use Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler. See Rod Hilton's "Global Exception Handling" blog post for an example.
