While Ivan's reply is correct, it is really a bit quick and dirty.
For less experienced Java programmers a slightly fuller explanations is: Any method in Java can choose to throw an exception if something goes wrong. The caller of that function must be prepared to handle any exceptions that may be thrown and then do whatever they think is most appropriate. What Ivan's sample code does is catch any exception ( remember all exceptions extend the class java.lang.Exception) and ignore the error. 'Swallowing' exceptions in his way is generally a bad practice as when something goes wrong, you never find out about it. The minimum you should do is either: rethrow the exception to your caller or print a stack trace. Very often you will want to handle different types of exceptions in a special way and so should catch org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException for example.
