Simple code to test how many method invocations you can make before you get stackoverflow exception

RecursiveStackOverflow.java

public class RecursiveStackOverflow {
    static int depth = 0;

    private static void recursiveStackOverflow(long param) {
        depth++;
        recursiveStackOverflow(param);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            recursiveStackOverflow(1L);
        } catch (StackOverflowError e) {
            System.out.println("Maximum depth of the call stack is " + depth);
        }
    }
}
