The following example shows how we can use the ThreadFactory interface to create new threads:

public class ThreadFactoryExample implements ThreadFactory {  private static final Logger LOGGER =     Logger.getLogger(ThreadFactoryExample.class);  public static void main(String[] args) {    ThreadFactoryExample factory = new ThreadFactoryExample();    Runnable task = new Runnable() {      public void run() {        LOGGER.info(Thread.currentThread().getName());      }    };    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {      Thread t = factory.newThread(task);      t.start();    }  }  @Override  public Thread newThread(Runnable r) { Thread t = new ...
