 java.lang.ThreadGroup
All known Subclasses: sun.applet.AppletThreadGroup,
| ThreadGroup | | public class ThreadGroup (Code) | | A thread group represents a set of threads. In addition, a thread
group can also include other thread groups. The thread groups form
a tree in which every thread group except the initial thread group
has a parent.
A thread is allowed to access information about its own thread
group, but not to access information about its thread group's
parent thread group or any other thread groups.

A daemon thread group is automatically destroyed when its last
thread is stopped or its last thread group is destroyed.

| setMaxPriority | | final public void setMaxPriority(int pri)(Code) | | Sets the maximum priority of the group. Threads in the thread
group that already have a higher priority are not affected.
First, the checkAccess method of this thread group is
called with no arguments; this may result in a security exception.
If the pri argument is less than
Thread.MIN_PRIORITY or greater than
Thread.MAX_PRIORITY , the maximum priority of the group
remains unchanged.
Otherwise, the priority of this ThreadGroup object is set to the
smaller of the specified pri and the maximum permitted
priority of the parent of this thread group. (If this thread group
is the system thread group, which has no parent, then its maximum
priority is simply set to pri.) Then this method is
called recursively, with pri as its argument, for
every thread group that belongs to this thread group.
Parameters:
pri - the new priority of the thread group.
exception:
SecurityException - if the current thread cannot modifythis thread group.

| uncaughtException | | public void uncaughtException(Thread t, Throwable e)(Code) | | Called by the Java Virtual Machine when a thread in this
thread group stops because of an uncaught exception.
The uncaughtException method of
ThreadGroup does the following:
- If this thread group has a parent thread group, the
uncaughtException method of that parent is called
with the same two arguments.
- Otherwise, this method determines if the
Throwable
argument is an instance of ThreadDeath. If so, nothing
special is done. Otherwise, the Throwable's
printStackTrace method is called to print a stack
backtrace to the standard error stream.
Applications can override this method in subclasses of
ThreadGroup to provide alternative handling of
uncaught exceptions.
Parameters:
t - the thread that is about to exit.
Parameters:
e - the uncaught exception.
