Java Thread Simple Examples

This repository contains more than 20 simple examples with explanations on how to use Java Thread API and Executors Framework. Currently, the following subjects are covered:

• Running tasks from Thread and Runnable
• Strategies for returning values from Threads and Runnable tasks
• wait(), notify(), interrupt(), join(), isAlive()...
• Creating Thread Pools (FixedThreadPool, CachedThreadPool, SingleThreadPool, ScheduledThreadPool...)
• Submiting tasks to ExecutorService
• Returning values from tasks using Callable and Future
• Naming threads and creating deamon threads in a thread pool implementing ThreadFactory interface
• Terminating tasks using Thread API
• Terminating tasks using Future
• Handling exceptions in normal threads implementing UncaughtExceptionHandler interface
• Handling exceptions in threads on a thread pool implementing UncaughtExceptionHandler interface
• Managing tasks termination using CountDownLatch
• Running scheduled tasks using Timer and TimerTask
• Running scheduled tasks using ScheduledThreadPool

Of course there are much more than this to cover (such as Fork/Join Framework). Feel free to fork this project and contribute with more simple thread examples!
