[jira] [Created] (EXEC-70) Delegate thread creation to java.util.concurrent.ThreadFactory

Richard Atkins created EXEC-70:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Delegate thread creation to java.util.concurrent.ThreadFactory
                 Key: EXEC-70
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EXEC-70
             Project: Commons Exec
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Richard Atkins
            Priority: Minor


Direct calls to Thread constructors are usually a bad idea. It's better to allow callers to configure a ThreadFactory, and to invoke that to create them for us. This would allow callers to adjust thread priorities, names, daemon/user thread levels, thread groups and UncaughtExceptionHandlers.

[jira] [Commented] (EXEC-70) Delegate thread creation to java.util.concurrent.ThreadFactory

Richard Atkins commented on EXEC-70:
------------------------------------

Implementing this would require direct support for Java 1.5. Is Commons Exec ready to make that its minimum supported JDK level?
