Problem of exception catch in HotSpot

I have a question about the exception mechanism in Hotspot.

As we know, when you trigger an exception which is not compulsory to be catched by developer out of a try-catch segment, as a ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. The JVM on PC will catch the exception by itself and print the stack trace information. But HotSpot seems don't have the same mechanism. Is that true? Or where does these codes for exception catching locate?

If an exception is not handled then the current thread (the thread that encountered the exception) is terminated, but only after all finally clauses have been executed and the method uncaughtException has been invoked for the ThreadGroup that is the parent of the current thread.

That has nothing to do with the VM implementation, it is defined in the JLS.
