I use -XX:OnOutOfMemoryError=\"kill -9 %p\". It works for most of out of memory cases, but it doesn't kill the process for java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread.

  • Can you share any more details on the issue? What types of application you are running this in, exception details, etc? – ewitkows Apr 29 '14 at 19:24

It may well be that the system cannot handle any more threads. That, unfortunately, would also mean that no new processes can be created - but the kill command would run as a new process! A rather unpleasant Catch-22...
