Best Practice of logging an uncaught exception in a java programm

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Java: Global Exception Handler

I thought of something like this:

public static void main(String[] args) {
  try {
    startOfMyProg();
  } catch (RuntimeException e) {
     log.error(e.toString());
     // Maybe rethrow it so i can see it in the console?
  }
}

It's a simple solution, i know. Maybe someone knows a better one?

Well you can get better results buy using just `Exception` or `Throwable`. Some exceptions will get past runtime exception. — Thihara, Jun 21 '12 at 08:29

I would

} catch (Throwable e) {
    log.error("Uncaught exception", e); // prints the stack trace.
