An API to get the state of a thread, but someone say it is not reliable - http://java.sun.com[..]5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.State.html http://java.silke-wingens.de/2011/03/13/threads-states/?lang=en

http://www.nabble.com[..]readed-programs-tf3627394.html#a10128844

Having said that, I have to note that using Thread#getState() is not
something you can absolutely rely on as the behavior isn't guaranteed
to be the same on all platforms. That is, it can be a useful tool for
debugging and test-driving but not ideal for regression (unit)
testing.

1) Almost every task is interesting for junior developers.
2) Experienced developers should maintain a healthy balance between interesting and OK tasks.
