Why ThreadGroup is being criticised?

Viewed 10061

I'm aware of current practice of using Executors instead of ThreadGroup:

  • generally preferred way to deal with Threads
  • catching exceptions from threads, etc...

However, what are the inherent flaws of ThreadGroup as such (I've heard a vague criticism for that class)?

Thanks for answer.

PS. this does not seem to answer this question.
