An error is an irrecoverable condition occurring at runtime.
Such as OutOfMemory error. These JVM errors and you can not
repair them at runtime.
While exceptions are conditions that occur because of bad
input etc. e.g. FileNotFoundException will be thrown if the
specified file does not exist. Or a NullPointerException
will take place if you try using a null reference.
In most of the cases it is possible to recover from an
exception

Exception is runtime error witch is handled by Exception
classes present in Java provided by Sun Mc.
