ThreadFactory

public interface ThreadFactory
An object that creates new threads on demand. Using thread factories removes hardwiring of calls to {@link Thread#Thread(Runnable) 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 {@link Executors#defaultThreadFactory} method provides a more useful simple implementation, that sets the created thread context to known values before returning it.
