Chapter 13. Miscellaneous Thread Topics
Threads are a basic feature of the Java platform. As a result,
threads interact with several of Java's other
programming and runtime features. In this chapter,
we'll briefly touch on some of these features (and
issues), including thread groups, Java security, daemon threads,
class loading, exception handling, and memory usage. Some of these
topics are interrelated: in particular, the thread group class is
used by the security manager as the basis for its decisions. In
general, the topics here will complete your understanding of how
threads permeate the Java platform.
