/**
 * The management interface for the thread system of
 * the Java virtual machine.
 *
 * <p> A Java virtual machine has a single instance of the implementation
 * class of this interface.  This instance implementing this interface is
 * an <a href="ManagementFactory.html#MXBean">MXBean</a>
 * that can be obtained by calling
 * the {@link ManagementFactory#getThreadMXBean} method or
 * from the {@link ManagementFactory#getPlatformMBeanServer
 * platform <tt>MBeanServer</tt>} method.
 *
 * <p>The <tt>ObjectName</tt> for uniquely identifying the MXBean for
 * the thread system within an MBeanServer is:
 * <blockquote>
 *    {@link ManagementFactory#THREAD_MXBEAN_NAME
 *           <tt>java.lang:type=Threading</tt>}
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * It can be obtained by calling the
 * {@link PlatformManagedObject#getObjectName} method.
 *
 * <h3>Thread ID</h3>
 * Thread ID is a positive long value returned by calling the
 * {@link java.lang.Thread#getId} method for a thread.
 * The thread ID is unique during its lifetime.  When a thread
 * is terminated, this thread ID may be reused.
 *
 * <p> Some methods in this interface take a thread ID or an array
 * of thread IDs as the input parameter and return per-thread information.
 *
 * <h3>Thread CPU time</h3>
 * A Java virtual machine implementation may support measuring
 * the CPU time for the current thread, for any thread, or for no threads.
 *
 * <p>
 * The {@link #isThreadCpuTimeSupported} method can be used to determine
 * if a Java virtual machine supports measuring of the CPU time for any
 * thread.  The {@link #isCurrentThreadCpuTimeSupported} method can
 * be used to determine if a Java virtual machine supports measuring of
 * the CPU time for the current  thread.
 * A Java virtual machine implementation that supports CPU time measurement
 * for any thread will also support that for the current thread.
 *
 * <p> The CPU time provided by this interface has nanosecond precision
 * but not necessarily nanosecond accuracy.
 *
 * <p>
 * A Java virtual machine may disable CPU time measurement
 * by default.
 * The {@link #isThreadCpuTimeEnabled} and {@link #setThreadCpuTimeEnabled}
 * methods can be used to test if CPU time measurement is enabled
 * and to enable/disable this support respectively.
 * Enabling thread CPU measurement could be expensive in some
 * Java virtual machine implementations.
 *
 * <h3>Thread Contention Monitoring</h3>
 * Some Java virtual machines may support thread contention monitoring.
 * When thread contention monitoring is enabled, the accumulated elapsed
 * time that the thread has blocked for synchronization or waited for
 * notification will be collected and returned in the
 * <a href="ThreadInfo.html#SyncStats"><tt>ThreadInfo</tt></a> object.
 * <p>
 * The {@link #isThreadContentionMonitoringSupported} method can be used to
 * determine if a Java virtual machine supports thread contention monitoring.
 * The thread contention monitoring is disabled by default.  The
 * {@link #setThreadContentionMonitoringEnabled} method can be used to enable
 * thread contention monitoring.
 *
 * <h3>Synchronization Information and Deadlock Detection</h3>
 * Some Java virtual machines may support monitoring of
 * {@linkplain #isObjectMonitorUsageSupported object monitor usage} and
 * {@linkplain #isSynchronizerUsageSupported ownable synchronizer usage}.
 * The {@link #getThreadInfo(long[], boolean, boolean)} and
 * {@link #dumpAllThreads} methods can be used to obtain the thread stack trace
 * and synchronization information including which
 * {@linkplain LockInfo <i>lock</i>} a thread is blocked to
 * acquire or waiting on and which locks the thread currently owns.
 * <p>
 * The <tt>ThreadMXBean</tt> interface provides the
 * {@link #findMonitorDeadlockedThreads} and
 * {@link #findDeadlockedThreads} methods to find deadlocks in
 * the running application.
 *
 * @see ManagementFactory#getPlatformMXBeans(Class)
 * @see <a href="../../../javax/management/package-summary.html">
 *      JMX Specification.</a>
