Remarks

An object that creates new threads on demand. Using thread factories removes hardwiring of calls to Thread#Thread(Runnable) new Thread, enabling applications to use special thread subclasses, priorities, etc.

The simplest implementation of this interface is just:

{@code
            class SimpleThreadFactory implements ThreadFactory {
              public Thread newThread(Runnable r) {
                return new Thread(r);
              }
            }}

The Executors#defaultThreadFactory method provides a more useful simple implementation, that sets the created thread context to known values before returning it.
