terminated exit value:0 error

[anand ta]

Hi all,
I am a newbie here , learning java!

I had to write an exercise on threads and i got halt on running my first thread itself!
I am running this on ubuntu 8.1 on ecplise ID!

The code tat i wrote is

package threads;
import java.lang.Thread;
import java.lang.Runnable;

public class ThreadDemo implements Runnable{
			public	void run()
			{
			for (int i=0;i<3;i++)
				System.out.println("This thread is being run by" + Thread.currentThread().getName());
				
		}
		
		public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
	{
		ThreadDemo job = new ThreadDemo();
		Thread t1 = new Thread(job);
		Thread t2 = new Thread(job);
		Thread t3 = new Thread(job);
		t1.setName("one");
		t2.setName("two");
		t3.setName("three");
			
	}
}

When i ran i got this error!
<terminated, exit value: 0>/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-4.3-1.5.0.0/bin/java (22-Feb-09 2:55:50 PM)

Can any1 help wat this error means and where i am messing things?

Thanks in advance,
-Anand

This program wouldn't have any output -- you didn't call "start()" on any of the threads. "Terminated" means the program finished, and exit code 0 means "normal completion." So basically Eclipse says "your program is done."

thanks a lot Ernest! it works now!! I was not confident and hence pressed the run before i finish calling the start() ! thanks much!

Cheers,
