OutOfMemoryError is an VirtualMachineError, not an exception. You can catch it, but the specification about that error says it indicates “the Java Virtual Machine is broken or has run out of resources necessary for it to continue operating”, i.e., VM restart is required. So even formally, you cannot recover from it.
