FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-be
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-beta-b32c, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
threadGroup.enumerate() does neither return a reference to the Signal Dispatcher thread nor does it include the Signal Dispatcher thread to the number of counted threads.

If you use java.lang.management.ThreadMBean class, getThreadCount() does include the Signal Dispatcher in its count:

    ThreadMBean tb = ManagementFactory.getThreadMBean();
    Thread[] t = new Thread[500];
    ThreadGroup threadGroup = Thread.currentThread().getThreadGroup();
    while (threadGroup.getParent() != null)
    {
      threadGroup = threadGroup.getParent() ;
    }
    System.out.println(threadGroup.enumerate(t)); //ouput is '3'
    System.out.println(tb.getThreadCount()); //output is '4'



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile the program given under source code with JDK 1.5 Beta 1:




EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Both outputs should be '4' and the thread-array should contain a reference to the Signal Dispatcher.
ACTUAL -
Output of threadGroup.enumerate() is '3'
Output of threadMBean.getThreadCount() is '4'

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
