Correction: In one of my last newsletters was the answer to the question:
Why wait(), sleep(), notify(), notifyAll() must be inside a synchronized block, otherwise it throws java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException: current thread not owner. see newsletter No 175, tip 2, July 22, 2003 or published on the site December 15, 2003.

Harald M. Mueller from Germany corrected me:
"This is not true for sleep(). However, sleep() can throw an
InterruptedException. It is, in many cases, ok to write
try {
Thread.sleep(...);
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
// empty - ignore the exception
}

THIS IS THE ONLY SITUATION WHERE AN EXCEPTION MAY BE IGNORED!!! In all other
catch blocks, either
* rethrow an exception
* show the problem in a GUI dialog
* crash the program
Writing an exception to stdout or stderr with ex.printStacktrace() is NOT OK!!
...

Thanks for correction. Please always correct me if I am wrong!
