Deadlock caused while creating a Thread in a static block in Java

Question

I was just trying to create a Thread in a static block in Java that caused a deadlock to occur. The code snippet is as follows.

package deadlock;

f         


        

Answer 1

if you comment out

    try
    {
        t.join();
    }
    catch (InterruptedException e)
    {
        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    }

deadlock will not occur...Your thread will run after class load.
