Hello!
A Thread.interrupted() static method (not to be confused with
Thread.isInterrupted() instance method) spec states:

<http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/file/67cdc215ed70/src/java.base/share/classes/java/lang/Thread.java#l1030>
* <p>A thread interruption ignored because a thread was not alive
<http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/file/67cdc215ed70/src/java.base/share/classes/java/lang/Thread.java#l1031>

* returning false.
The Thread.interrupted() always applies to the current thread. I don't
understand how it's possible that a current thread is not alive. To me this
note is redundant and should be removed. Am I missing something?
I think the wording could be improved but this about invoking
Thread.interrupt before the thread is started. JDK-4082705 [1] has more
on this.
