/** |
|
39 |
* An object that creates new threads on demand. Using thread factories |
|
40 |
* removes hardwiring of calls to {@link Thread#Thread(Runnable) new Thread}, |
|
41 |
* enabling applications to use special thread subclasses, priorities, etc. |
|
42 |
* |
|
43 |
* <p> |
|
44 |
* The simplest implementation of this interface is just: |
|
45 |
* <pre> |
|
46 |
* class SimpleThreadFactory implements ThreadFactory { |
|
47 |
* public Thread newThread(Runnable r) { |
|
48 |
* return new Thread(r); |
|
49 |
* } |
|
50 |
* } |
|
51 |
* </pre> |
|
52 |
* |
|
53 |
* The {@link Executors#defaultThreadFactory} method provides a more |
|
54 |
* useful simple implementation, that sets the created thread context |
|
55 |
* to known values before returning it. |
|
56 |
* @since 1.5 |
