/*from ww w .j  a v a2s.c o m*/
  public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

    Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadDemo());
    t.start();

    t.join(2000, 500);
    //after waiting for 2000 milliseconds plus 500 nanoseconds ...
    System.out.print(t.getName());
    System.out.println(", status = " + t.isAlive());
  }
}

class ThreadDemo implements Runnable {

  public void run() {

    Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
    System.out.print(t.getName());
    // checks if this thread is alive
    System.out.println(", status = " + t.isAlive());
  }
