How to find what called a thread
-
In the Eclipse debugger, I see in the stack trace many calls to Thread.run. The steps never go beyond that. How do I find out what method in our code started the thread? Right-clicking does not provide anything useful. Putting a breakpoint on the run method in Thread.class and inspecting Target does not, as far as I can tell, say who the caller is.

@tharpa as far as I know you'll have to create your own thing to preserve this information. A new thread gets an entire new stack, so you'll never get this information on a stack trace.

There's almost nothing in that method. It's seriously trivial. Have those threads actually been started yet? (Can you check what the thread's state property is?)
