Thread.stop() was originally specified to "stop" a victim thread by causing the victim thread to throw aThreadDeath. It was inherently unsafe and deprecated in an early JDK release. The ability to "stop" a thread withThread.stop has been removed and theThread.stop method changed to throw an exception. Consequently,ThreadDeath is also deprecated, for removal.
An instance ofThreadDeath was originally specified to be thrown by a victim thread when "stopped" withThread.stop().
