Abstract
The program calls a thread's run() method instead of calling start().
Description
In most cases a direct call to a Thread object's run() method is a bug. The programmer intended to begin a new thread of control, but accidentally called run() instead of start(), so the run() method will execute in the caller's thread of control.
Examples
The following excerpt from a Java program mistakenly calls run() instead of start().
Thread thr = new Thread() {
public void run() {
...
}
};
thr.run();
