Description of Thread.enumerate(Thread[]) is misleading.

Name: akC45999 Date: 07/13/99



The description of java.lang.Thread.enumerate(Thread[]) reads:

   public static int enumerate(Thread[] tarray)

   Copies into the specified array every active thread in this thread's
   thread group and its subgroups.

The word 'this' in method descriptions usually means the object
to which the method is applied. Thus, in the text:

  Thread thrd=new Thread();
  thrd.enumerate(...)

this would mean 'thrd'.

But the method is static so the object reference is ignored,
and the code

  thrd.enumerate(...)

is equivalent to the

  Thread.enumerate(...)

and the method enumerate() in the code
is applied to the current thread and not to the thread 'thrd'.

So the words

  ... every active thread in this thread's thread group

should be replaced with

   ... every active thread in the current thread's thread group
