Description
This issue tracks terminally deprecating the following methods defined by java.lang.ThreadGroup
- stop
- destroy
- isDestroyed
- setDaemon
- isDaemon
The stop method has been deprecated since=1.2 because it is inherently unsafe. It is time to terminally deprecate this method so it can be removed in a future release. Thread.stop will be examined in a separate issue.
The destroy, isDestroyed, setDaemon, isDaemon methods support the mechanism to explicitly or automatically destroy a thread group. As detailed in
