Hi all,
Please review this changeset to remove the Thread.destroy() and Thread.stop(Throwable) methods. Both of these methods have been deprecated for a long time, and they were deprecated for removal in Java SE 9.
Thread.destroy() was never implemented, and has always thrown NoSuchMethodError back to the caller. Thread.stop(Throwable) was made non-functional in JDK 8, throwing UnsupportedOperationException back to the caller.
Note that the no-arg Thread.stop() method remains deprecated, not for removal, and is unaffected by this changeset.
Note also that ThreadGroup.destroy() doesn't actually destroy any threads -- just thread groups -- and that it is also unaffected by this changeset.
