Yes, why not?
Throwable includes all java.lang.Errors, which generally you don't ever
want to catch -- don't handle an exceptional case that the code doesn't
know what to do with.
There is one caveat -- java's assert keyword produces an
AssertionError, and there are times when you want an "all exceptions
(including asserts) stop here" point. I've had to do this exactly once,
ever, though so I don't think JRuby should care about this one either.
If you want to, you can catch Exception and AssertionError separately.
