Response to: Not, reasonable application SHOULD catch it
OOM can be thrown in the thread that is not actually causing the memory exhaustion. This makes recovery from a OOM almost impossible. OOM is best handled by running VM with: -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=${DUMPS} -XX:OnOutOfMemoryError="kill -9 %p"
