Description

In Java SE 7 and later, a single catch block can handle more than one type of exception. This feature can reduce code duplication and lessen the temptation to catch an overly broad exception.

For more details: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/language/catch-multiple.html

Example:

catch (IOException ex) {
    logger.log(ex);
    throw ex;
} catch (SQLException ex) {
    logger.log(ex);
    throw ex;
}

Can be written as, which is valid in Java SE 7 and later, eliminates the duplicated code:

 

catch (IOException | SQLException ex) {
    logger.log(ex);
    throw ex;
}
