Hi,

As fa as i'm concerned this is a thread licecycle:

1. thread created: it is dead.
2. thread started: it is now alive.
3. thread executes its run method: it is alive during this method.
4. after thread finishes its run method: it is dead.

No I have simple JUnit code:

public void testThreads() throws Exception {

WorkTest work = new WorkTest() {
public void release() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void run() {
for (int i=0;i<1000;i++){

log.debug(i+":11111111111");
//System.out.println(i+":11111111111");
}
}};

WorkTest work2 = new WorkTest() {
public void release() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void run() {
for (int i=0;i<1000;i++){
log.debug(i+":22222222222");
}
}};
Thread workerThread = new Thread(work);
Thread workerThread2 = new Thread(work2);
workerThread.start();
//workerThread.join();
workerThread2.start();
//workerThread2.join();

}

And

public interface WorkTest extends Runnable {

public abstract void release();
}

And that's it..

On the console I see 999 iterations of both threads only if i uncomment
//workerThread.join();
//workerThread2.join();
In other case I see random number of iterations - JUNIT finishes and Thread1 made 54 and Thread2 233 iterations - the numbers are different every time i start the JUnit..

What I want? Not to wait until the first one finishes - I want them to start at the same time and they must FINISH their tasks...

Please help me asap :(
