Name: akC45999 Date: 04/27/98 Description of java.lang.Thread.join() reads: ... Waits at most millis milliseconds for this thread to die ... I belive it should read: ... Waits at least millis milliseconds etc. ... This is why: 1. if the description were true, then a JVM could wait zero time and still be conformant. Such implementation is useless. 2. No implementation can guarantee that a thread would resume execution within a given period of time (one must add the time the thread waits for a free processor), so the description is unimplementable. ======================================================================
