The description of java.lang.ThreadGroup.destroy() reads:

Throws:
  IllegalThreadStateException - if the thread group is not empty or if the thread group has
  already been destroyed.


But in JDK1.2 FCS-G/windowsNT, the method throws IllegalThreadStateException when group
is empty and not yet destroyed.

A Fujitsu engeneer suggested to add a call to Thread.sleep()
between group.finish() and group.destroy() to help the test to pass.
This does work both on Windows 95 and WindowsNT.

Another test (activeCount0102) just counts active threads but behaves identically
(sleep(delay) makes the test to pass).

So I assume that a Thread Group does not become empty immediately
after the last thread dies, but some time later.

//------------------- activeCount0102.java
// simplified version of the test javasoft.sqe.tests.api.java.lang.ThreadGroup.activeCount0102
import java.io.PrintStream;

public class activeCount0102 {

  public static void main(String argv[]) {
long delay=((argv.length==0)?-1:Long.parseLong(argv[0]));
ThreadGroup group=new ThreadGroup("activeCount0102_g");
Thread nonActiveThrd1;
nonActiveThrd1=new Thread(group, "activeCount0102_n");
nonActiveThrd1.start();
try {
nonActiveThrd1.join();
if (delay>=0) Thread.sleep(delay);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.err.println("InterruptedException in main thread");
}

int cnt0=group.activeCount();
if (cnt0 != 0)
System.err.println("Failed: activeCount()="+cnt0);
else
System.err.println("Passed.");
  }

}

//------------------- end activeCount0102.java
run it with command
java activeCount0102 <delay>
Even with delay=0, test sometimes pass.
