Introduction

Everything that happens in a Java program is the result of a thread executing a method associated with an object. Although Java provides many tools for manipulating threads, Java's portability has limitations because of variations in the underlying operating systems. It is essential for a Java programmer to understand both the power and limitations of Java threads. In recognition of this, the exam places strong emphasis on threads and their interaction with Java objects.
