    1.42 + * An object that creates new threads on demand.  Using thread factories
    1.43 + * removes hardwiring of calls to {@link Thread#Thread(Runnable) new Thread},
    1.44 + * enabling applications to use special thread subclasses, priorities, etc.
    1.45 + *
    1.46 + * <p>
    1.47 + * The simplest implementation of this interface is just:
    1.48 + * <pre>
    1.49 + * class SimpleThreadFactory implements ThreadFactory {
    1.50 + *   public Thread newThread(Runnable r) {
    1.51 + *     return new Thread(r);
    1.52 + *   }
    1.53 + * }
    1.54 + * </pre>
    1.55 + *
    1.56 + * The {@link Executors#defaultThreadFactory} method provides a more
    1.57 + * useful simple implementation, that sets the created thread context
    1.58 + * to known values before returning it.
    1.59 + * @since 1.5
