Thread.stop()was originally specified to "stop" a victim thread by causing the victim thread to throw aThreadDeath. It was inherently unsafe and deprecated in an early JDK release. The ability to "stop" a thread withThread.stophas been removed and theThread.stopmethod changed to throw an exception. Consequently,ThreadDeathis also deprecated, for removal.
