SimpleThreads示例

以下示例汇集了本节的一些概念。 SimpleThreads由两个线程组成。第一个是每个Java应用程序都具有的主线程。主线程从Runnable对象创建一个新线程MessageLoop，并等待其完成。如果MessageLoop线程花费的时间太长，则主线程会中断它。
MessageLoop线程将打印出一系列消息。如果在打印所有消息之前中断，MessageLoop线程将打印一条消息并退出。

public class SimpleThreads {
    // Display a message, preceded by
    // the name of the current thread
    static void threadMessage(String message) {
        String threadName =
            Thread.currentThread().getName();
        System.out.format("%s: %s%n",
                          threadName,
                          message);
    }
    private static class MessageLoop
        implements Runnable {
        public void run() {
            String importantInfo[] = {
                "Mares eat oats",
                "Does eat oats",
                "Little lambs eat ivy",
                "A kid will eat ivy too"
            };
            try {
                for (int i = 0;
                     i < importantInfo.length;
                     i++) {
                    // Pause for 4 seconds
                    Thread.sleep(4000);
                    // Print a message
                    threadMessage(importantInfo[i]);
                }
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                threadMessage("I wasn't done!");
            }

        // thread (default one hour).
        long patience = 1000 * 60 * 60;

        // present, gives patience
        // in seconds.
        if (args.length > 0) {
            try {
                patience = Long.parseLong(args[0]) * 1000;
            } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
                System.err.println("Argument must be an integer.");
                System.exit(1);
            }
        }

        long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
