核心Java提供对多线程程序的完全控制。 也可以开发一个可以根据您的要求完全暂停，恢复或停止的多线程程序。 有各种静态方法可以用于线程对象来控制它们的行为。 下表列出了这些方法 -

请注意，最新版本的Java已经不再使用suspend()，resume()和stop()方法，因此您需要使用可用的替代方法。

使用示例

class RunnableDemo implements Runnable {
   public Thread t;
   private String threadName;
   boolean suspended = false;

   RunnableDemo( String name) {
      threadName = name;
      System.out.println("Creating " +  threadName );
   }

   public void run() {
      System.out.println("Running " +  threadName );
      try {
         for(int i = 10; i > 0; i--) {
            System.out.println("Thread: " + threadName + ", " + i);
            // Let the thread sleep for a while.
            Thread.sleep(300);
            synchronized(this) {
               while(suspended) {
                  wait();
               }
            }
         }
      }catch (InterruptedException e) {
         System.out.println("Thread " +  threadName + " interrupted.");
      }
      System.out.println("Thread " +  threadName + " exiting.");
   }

   public void start () {
      System.out.println("Starting " +  threadName );
      if (t == null) {
         t = new Thread (this, threadName);
         t.start ();
      }
   }

   void suspend() {
      suspended = true;
   }

   synchronized void resume() {
      suspended = false;
      notify();
   }
}

public class TestThread {

   public static void main(String args[]) {

      RunnableDemo R1 = new RunnableDemo( "Thread-1");
      R1.start();

      RunnableDemo R2 = new RunnableDemo( "Thread-2");
      R2.start();

      try {
         Thread.sleep(1000);
         R1.suspend();
         System.out.println("Suspending First Thread");
         Thread.sleep(1000);
         R1.resume();
         System.out.println("Resuming First Thread");

         R2.suspend();
         System.out.println("Suspending thread Two");
         Thread.sleep(1000);
         R2.resume();
         System.out.println("Resuming thread Two");
      }catch (InterruptedException e) {
         System.out.println("Main thread Interrupted");
      }try {
         System.out.println("Waiting for threads to finish.");
         R1.t.join();
         R2.t.join();
      }catch (InterruptedException e) {
         System.out.println("Main thread Interrupted");
      }
      System.out.println("Main thread exiting.");
   }
}

执行上面程序后产生以下输出 -
