             Summary: Better handle uncaught exceptions in background threads in Pivot
                 Key: PIVOT-969
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-969
             Project: Pivot
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: wtk
    Affects Versions: 2.0.4, 2.1
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
            Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.1


PIVOT-916 regularized the handling of uncaught exceptions in most places in the GUI thread and during startup.  But background threads can still basically ignore uncaught exceptions.  But using the Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler and changing some of our interfaces (namely Application.UncaughtExceptionHandler) we could use the ApplicationContext.handleUncaughtException as the default exception handler (which delegates to an application's override method).

This would involve changing the signature (or adding an override method) that accepts (Thread, Throwable) in both ApplicationContext and Application.UncaughtExceptionHandler interface.
