Every thread has a priority, which can be set by the user with setPriority( int ) using constants MIN_PRIORITY (1), MAX_PRIORITY(10), or NORM_PRIORITY.
|
|
Whenever the thread scheduler picks a thread to run, it picks the highest priority thread that is currently runnable. (If there is more than one thread with the same priority, each thread gets a turn in some order.)
|
|
The user can also create a ThreadGroup to organize a large number of threads by functionality. The methods stop(), suspend(), and resume() can be used on a ThreadGroup.
