title: Unhandled exceptions with Java scheduled executors
body: <p>I have the following issue and I would like to know what exactly happens. I am using Java's <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/ScheduledExecutorService.html" rel="noreferrer">ScheduledExecutorService</a> to run a task every five minutes. It works very well. Executors completely changed the way I do thread programming in Java.</p>
  
  <p>Now, I browsed Java Doc for information about what would be the behavior in case the scheduled task fails with an unhandled exception, but couldn't find anything.</p>
  
  <p>Is the next scheduled task still going to run? If there is an unhandled exception, the scheduled executor stops scheduling task? Can anyone point to information regarding this simple issue?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot.</p>
