Appendix B. JavaAPI Classes that Implicitly Generate Threads inside JavaVM

Typically, Java SE APIs generate threads when the java.lang.Thread class or a thread-related class of the java.util.concurrent package is used.

However, some Java SE APIs implicitly generate threads. If you are using such APIs, you must take care because the number of threads might increase unintentionally, and the C heap area might be consumed. This section describes the APIs and functions that generate threads inside the JavaVM of Java SE 6.0.
