what is a Daemon Thread?

Answer Posted / guest

Threads that work in the background to support the runtime
environment are called daemon threads. For example, the
clock handler thread, the idle thread, the screen updater
thread, and the garbage collector thread are all daemon
threads. The virtual machine exits whenever all non-daemon
threads have completed. The daemon threads are then all
automatically stopped when the JVM shuts down.
