Can somebody show me more Thread.* examples?

[Klaas Vredevort]

Hey!

I got a wonderful, though very crude, method to make Strings sleep in Java.
Mark Weber showed me the Thread.sleep() method. I love it! Can sombody please show me more examples of this? Or where can I find info on it?

Thanks!

Klaas

Well, Strings do not sleep

And judging by your excitement from the Thread.sleep()
method I suggest you start from here:

if you are amused by Thread.sleep(), wait till you come across consumer-producer power of threads with wait(), notify(), notifyall() methods. I always enjoyed multi-threading despite being can be complex at times.
having said that, thanks to the java.util.concurrent package in JDK 1.5 for simplified and more efficient multi-threading.
