[SunHELP] java thread priorities

Have a look at the java API documentation of java.lang.Thread

start from

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/index.html

and navigate to java.lang.Thread

Each thread has a priority field that can be read using
int Thread.getPriority() and can be written using
Thread.setPriority(int).

good luck,
michael
