In the previous recipe, you learned how you can interrupt the execution of a thread and what you have to do to control this interruption in the thread object. The mechanism shown in the previous example can be used if the thread that can be interrupted is simple. But if the thread implements a complex algorithm divided into some methods or it has methods with recursive calls, we will need to use a better mechanism to control the interruption of the thread. Java provides the InterruptedException exception for this purpose. You can throw this exception when you detect the interruption of a thread and catch it in the run() method.
In this recipe, we will implement a task that will look for files with ...
