Using setMaxPriority() and getMaxPriority() |
The setMaxPriority() method sets the maximum priority that all threads in a particular thread group and all of its subgroups can have. Threads that are already running at a higher priority are not affected. This method has an effect when new threads are constructed or when the setPriority() method of Thread is invoked. |
If setPriority() is called with a priority higher than the maximum allowed for the group that a thread is in, the priority is silently lowered to the maximum allowed. The getMaxPriority() method returns the current maximum priority permitted for threads in a particular thread group. |
