| ThreadMethods.java | This class demonstrates some of the utility methods present in the java.lang.Thread class, as well as makes explicit the execution of multiple threads even in "single-threaded" applications. |
| DemoThreadsA.java | This class is a simple example of one way to create a thread in Java - simply extend java.lang.Thread and put the code you want to execute in the public void run() method. |
| DemoThreadsB.java | This class demonstrates the second way to create a thread in Java - implement the java.lang.Runnable interface and pass your class to the constructor of a Thread object. As with extending java.lang.Thread, you put the code you want to run in the public void run() method. This example also looks at thread priority and how it can affect the order of thread execution. |
| MoreThreads.java aka DemoThreads2.java | The second example in our discussion of basic threadings principles. This example introduces the java.lang.Runnable interface, and the concept of joining threads. |
| SelfJoin.java | This class investigates the question: What would happed if I were a Thread an attempted to join with myself? |
| ArrayOfSize10.java | This class demonstrates using the synchronized keyword in Java to prevent multiple threads for changing the same data simultaneously |
| SharedQueue.java | This class demonstrates the wait and notify keywords in Java to synchronize producers and consumers. |
| ProducerConsumer.java | This class uses the SharedQueue to demonstrate coordinated message-oriented 1:Many producers<->consumers |
