Interface ThreadFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:
  ExecutorUtils.SafeThreadFactory

public interface ThreadFactory

An object that creates new threads on demand. Using thread factories removes hardwiring of calls to `new Thread`, enabling applications to use special thread subclasses, priorities, etc.

The simplest implementation of this interface is just:

     class SimpleThreadFactory implements ThreadFactory {
       public Thread newThread(Runnable r) {
         return new Thread(r);
       }
     }

The `Executors.defaultThreadFactory()` method provides a more useful simple implementation, that sets the created thread context to known values before returning it.
