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

How about...

private static BufferedReader stdInCh = new BufferedReader(
    new InputStreamReader(Channels.newInputStream((
    new FileInputStream(FileDescriptor.in)).getChannel())));

A thread where stdInch.readline() is called is now interruptible and the readline() will throw a java.nio.channels.ClosedByInterruptException.
