An example of the other way

Code:

public class Bogus2 {
  public static void main (String[] args) {
    Thread t = new Thread(
      new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
          int i = 0;
          while (!Thread.interrupted())  {
              System.out.println(i++);
          }
        }
      });

    t.start();
    try { Thread.sleep(50); } catch (InterruptedException ie) {}
    t.interrupt();
  }
}

And, BTW, there's no reason why the methods can't be combined (directed at the OP, not you Norm).
