# Using Surround with Try/Catch

To surround a statement or a set of statements with a try/catch block:

- In the Java editor, select the statement or a set of statements that you want to surround with a try/catch block.
- Do one of the following:
  - From the menu bar, select Source > Surround with try/catch Block or
  - From the editors pop-up menu, select Source > Surround with try/catch Block
- 'catch' blocks for all uncaught exceptions (if there are any) are created. If there are no uncaught exceptions, a dialog appears informing you about this fact and asking if you want to create a 'catch' block for java.lang.RuntimeException.
