I had a function in ScheduledExecutorService where I changed a
parameter for format from long to double, but I forgot to change the
format string. The result was that the function gets an unchecked
IllegalFormatConversionException and silently terminated on the format
statement. Is this normal? And where do I find a good description
about this?
Is there a way to get things automatically logged?
