Java Thread Group

farenda 2015-10-21 0

Problem:

What is Java Thread Group? How to use it? When to use it? Should Thread Groups be used at all?

Solution:

TL;DR: don’t.

As a longer answer can serve a quote from an excellent “Effective Java, 2nd” book by Josh Bloch, Item 73: Avoid thread groups:

To summarize, thread groups don’t provide much in the way of useful functionality, and much of the functionality they do provide is flawed. Thread groups are best viewed as an unsuccessful experiment, and you should simply ignore their existence. If you design a class that deals with logical groups of threads, you should probably use thread pool executors (Item 68).

So, please better read posts on thread pool executors or other topics on Java Concurrency.
