Class ThreadUtils

    • Constructor Detail

      • ThreadUtils

        public ThreadUtils()
        ThreadUtils instances should NOT be constructed in standard programming. Instead, the class should be used as ThreadUtils.getAllThreads()

        This constructor is public to permit tools that require a JavaBean instance to operate.
