How to ignore Exceptions in Java

try {
 // Your code...
} catch (Exception ignore) { }

Use the word ignore after the Exception keyword.


There is no way to fundamentally ignore a thrown exception. The best that you can do is minimize the boilerplate you need to wrap the exception-throwing code in.

If you are on Java 8, you can use this:

public static void ignoringExc(RunnableExc r) {
  try { r.run(); } catch (Exception e) { }
}

@FunctionalInterface public interface RunnableExc { void run() throws Exception; }

Then, and implying static imports, your code becomes

ignoringExc(() -> test.setSomething1(0));
ignoringExc(() -> test.setSomething2(0));
