A simple Thread

SimpleThread.java

public class SimpleThread extends Thread {
public SimpleThread(String s) {
super(s);
}
public void run() {
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
System.out.println(i + " " + getName() + " - " + Thread.activeCount());
try {
sleep((long) (Math.random() * 1000));
}
catch (InterruptedException e) {
}
}
System.out.println("DONE! " + getName());
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
new SimpleThread("sleepy").start();
}
}
