As part of the ongoing doc cleanup effort, we should move the existing longstanding note on "Thread Primitive Deprecation" into the JDK repository, say under jdk/src/java.base/share/classes/java/lang/doc-files, and update the links from the Thread javadoc.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~chegar/8178101/ The actual document has only been minimally modified, e.g. stylesheet link, etc, from the current version [1]. -Chris. [1] https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/concurrency/threadPrimitiveDeprecation.html
