[Bluej-discuss] Thread Question

[Mark Dutchuk (MALA)]

Thanks Davin.  That worked, with one minor fix.  I had to do this ..

public EventOne(ThreadGroup group)
{
    super(group, (Runnable) null);
}

.. to avoid an "ambiguous" reference to the Thread constructor.

Your help was very much appreciated.  Thanks again!

Hi Mark,

To get the behaviour which (I think) you want, you should add a 
constructor to EventOne and EventTwo which takes a thread group as a 
parameter and which passes that parameter to the superclass constructor,

something like:

    public EventOne(ThreadGroup group)
    {
        super(group, null);
    }


... and then change the code which creates the thread to:

	EventOne e1 = new EventOne(threadGroup);
	e1.start();
