Hi Brad,

You can't stop a thread but you can let it die. Just return from the
Thread#run method. Most of the time you will have something like:
public volatile boolean shutdownRequested = false;
public void run() {
while (!shutdownRequested) {
// ... do something ...
}
}
Just set the shutdownRequested variable to true to quit the loop and
stop the thread.
Regards,
Cyril
