Interface ThreadDeathEvent

All Superinterfaces:: Event, Mirror

public interface ThreadDeathEvent extends Event

Notification of a completed thread in the target VM. The notification is generated by the dying thread before it terminates. Because of this timing, it is possible for VirtualMachine.allThreads() to return this thread after this event is received.

Note that this event gives no information about the lifetime of the thread object. It may or may not be collected soon depending on what references exist in the target VM.

Since:

1.3
