Java: how to abort a thread reading from System.in

Question

I have a Java thread:

class MyThread extends Thread {
  @Override
  public void run() {
    BufferedReader stdin =
        new BufferedReader(new InputStream         


        

Answer 1

My first reaction is that a thread and System.in really don't go together.

So first, split this so that the thread code does not touch any static including System.in.

A thread reads from InputStream and passes into a buffer. Pass an InputStream into your existing thread that reads from the buffer but also checks that you haven't aborted.
