This new edition of the classic \u003ci\u003eJava Threads\u003c\/i\u003e shows you how to take full advantage of Java's threading facilities and brings you up-to-date with the watershed changes in Java 2 Standard Edition version 5.0 (J2SE 5.0). It provides a thorough, step-by-step approach to threads programming. Java's threading system is simple relative to other threading systems. In earlier versions of Java, this simplicity came with tradeoffs: some of the advanced features in other threading systems were not available in Java. J2SE 5.0 changes all that: it provides a large number of new thread-related classes that make the task of writing multithreaded programs that much easier. You'll learn where to use threads to increase efficiency, how to use them effectively, and how to avoid common mistakes. This book discusses problems like deadlock, race conditions, and starvation in detail, helping you to write code without hidden bugs. \u003ci\u003eJava Threads\u003c\/i\u003e, Third Edition, has been thoroughly expanded and revised. It incorporates the concurrency utilities from java.util.concurrent throughout. New chapters cover thread performance, using threads with Swing, threads and Collection classes, thread pools, and threads and I\/O (traditional, new, and interrupted). Developers who cannot yet deploy J2SE 5.0 can use thread utilities provided in the Appendix to achieve similar functionality with earlier versions of Java. Topics include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock starvation and deadlock detection \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtomic classes and minimal synchronization (J2SE 5.0) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteraction of Java threads with Swing, I\/O, and Collection classes \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgrammatically controlled locks and condition variables (J2SE 5.0) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread performance and security \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread pools (J2SE 5.0) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread groups \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatform-specific thread scheduling \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTask schedulers (J2SE 5.0) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParallelizing loops for multiprocessor machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e In short, this new edition of \u003ci\u003eJava Threads\u003c\/i\u003e covers everything you need to know about threads, from the simplest animation program to the most complex applications. If you plan to do any serious work in Java, you will find this book invaluable.
