The Java Concurrency API provides the Executors class to generate thread executors, usually objects of the ThreadPoolExecutor class. You can also use this class to obtain the most basic implementation of the ThreadFactory interface, using the defaultThreadFactory() method. The factory generated by this method generates basic Thread objects that belong to the same ThreadGroup object. You can use the ThreadFactory interface in your program for any purpose, not necessarily related only to the Executor framework.
