Revised and expanded to cover Java 2,  Java Threads  shows you how to take full advantage of Java's thread facilities: where to use threads to increase efficiency, how to use them effectively, and how to avoid common mistakes. It thoroughly covers the Thread and ThreadGroup classes, the Runnable interface, and the language's  synchronized operator. The books pays special attention to threading issues with Swing as well as problems like deadlock, race condition, and starvation, to help you write code without hidden bugs.   In addition,  Java Threads  shows you how to extend Java's thread primitives. A thorough discussion of thread scheduling  concludes by developing a CPUSchedule class that shows you how to implement  your own scheduling policy. Other extended examples include classes that  implement reader/writer locks, general locks, locks at arbitrary scope,  and asynchronous I/O.  In short,  Java Threads  covers everything you need to know about threads, from the simplest animation applet to the most complex  applications. If you plan to do any serious work in Java, you will find this  book invaluable. Examples available online.
