ThreadGroup (Java SE 19 & JDK 19)

All Implemented Interfaces:
Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler

A thread group represents a set of threads. In addition, a thread group can also include other thread groups. The thread groups form a tree in which every thread group except the initial thread group has a parent.

A thread group has a name and maximum priority. The name is specified when creating the group and cannot be changed. The group's maximum priority is the maximum priority for threads created in the group. It is initially inherited from the parent thread group but may be changed using the setMaxPriority method.

A thread group is weakly reachable from its parent group so that it is eligible for garbage collection when there are no live threads in the group and the thread group is otherwise unreachable.

Unless otherwise specified, passing a null argument to a constructor or method in this class will cause a NullPointerException to be thrown.

Thread groups and virtual threads

The Java runtime creates a special thread group for

virtual threads

. This group is returned by the

Thread.getThreadGroup

method when invoked on a virtual thread. The thread group differs to other thread groups in that its maximum priority is fixed and cannot be changed with the

setMaxPriority

method. Virtual threads are not included in the estimated thread count returned by the

activeCount

method, are not enumerated by the

enumerate

method, and are not interrupted by the

interrupt

method.

API Note:
Thread groups provided a way in early Java releases to group threads and provide a form of job control for threads. Thread groups supported the isolation of applets and defined methods intended for diagnostic purposes. It should be rare for new applications to create ThreadGroups and interact with this API.
