Hi,
thread.setDaemon(true) would not solve this problem. What this method does
is that it tells the VM that this thread a sort of support service and it
does not need to keep running for this thread. So when you have no more
NonDaemon thread running, you may exit. So you may have any no. of Daemon
threads running, but if all the threads which are NonDaemon have died down
( including the thread running the main), the VM will exit.
of course you decide if a thread is going to be a daemon before you start
the thread. i.e. you call the method thread.setDaemon() before
Thread.start().
regds,
Gokul
