1.  继承Thread类
2.  实现Runnable接口
3.  实现Callable接口，使用FutureTask方式
4.  使用线程池

 1. 继承Thread类

package com.pimee.thread;
/**
 * 继承Thread创建线程
 * @author Bruce Shaw
 *
 */
public class ThreadTest extends Thread {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		ThreadTest test = new ThreadTest();
		test.start();
	}

	@Override
	public void run() {
		System.out.println("This is TestThread...");
	}
}

2. 实现Runnable接口

package com.pimee.thread;
/**
 * 实现runnable接口创建线程
 * @author Bruce Shaw
 *
 */
public class RunnableTest implements Runnable {
	private static int test = 10;

	@Override
	public void run() {
		System.out.println("This is RunnableTest...");
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		RunnableTest test = new RunnableTest();
		new Thread(test).start();
	}
}

以上两种方式实现都比较简单，缺点很明显，就是线程执行后没有返回值。且看下面带有返回值的实现方式：

3. 实现Callable接口，使用FutureTask方式

package com.pimee.thread;

import java.util.concurrent.Callable;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException;
import java.util.concurrent.FutureTask;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException;

/**
 * 实现callable接口，基于FutureTask方式实现
 * @author Bruce Shaw
 *
 */
public class CallableTest implements Callable<String> {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException, TimeoutException {
		CallableTest mc = new CallableTest();
		FutureTask<String> ft = new FutureTask<>(mc);
		Thread thread = new Thread(ft);
		thread.start();
		System.out.println(ft.get());
	}

	@Override
	public String call() throws Exception {
		System.out.println("Callable is running...");
		return "Callable finished and return value...";
	}
}

4. 使用线程池

package com.pimee.thread;

import java.util.concurrent.*;
/**
 * 基於线程池创建
 *
 * @author Bruce Shaw
 *
 */
public class ThreadPoolTest implements Callable<String> {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException, TimeoutException {
        ExecutorService newCachedThreadPool = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
        Future<String> future = newCachedThreadPool.submit(new CallableTest());
        try {
            System.out.println(future.get());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            newCachedThreadPool.shutdown();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public String call() throws Exception {
        System.out.println("Callable is running...");
        return "Callable finished and return value...";
    }
}

严格意义上来说，只是3种实现方式，因为最后一种方式的实现是池化，可以创建上面Thread、Runnable、Callable的任意一种任务。
