When Do You Use Exception or Error in Java ?

Throwable class is the superclass of Exception and Error classes in Java.

When you want to catch the exceptional conditions that your program can create or encounter, then use the Exception class or subclass of Exception.

When you come across situations that are unexpected then use Error class in Java. Also recovering from Error is not possible in most of cases. So it is better to terminate the program
