novice question about output

[GarBage]

Hi All.
I'm a novice (studing Java from a book and currently at Exception Handling chapter) and I have a simple question about the output result from running the following code (using netBeans IDE). Why do the println() statements in both the catch and finally block print the strings even before the printStackTrace() in the catch clause has finished printing on the screen?

public class simpleExample {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		printDivision(10, 0); //Illegal division by 0
		System.out.println("Exit from main().");
	}

	public static void printDivision(int num, int den) {
		try {
			int result = computeDivision(num, den);
			System.out.println("Result = " + result);
		} catch (ArithmeticException ae) {
			ae.printStackTrace();
			System.out.println("ArithmeticException handled in printDivision().");
		} finally {
			System.out.println("finally done.");
		}
		System.out.println("Exit from printDivision().");
	}

	public static int computeDivision(int num, int den) {
		return num/den;
	}
}

and an exaple of the output...

run:
java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
ArithmeticException handled in printDivision().
finally done.
Exit from printDivision().
        at chapter6.simpleExample.computeDivision(simpleExample.java:23)
Exit from main().

I'm no pro at this, but it appears to me that the program thread and the exception thread are different, so there is no way to guarantee which will complete first.
