multithreading - Tracking Java thread creation and lifetime

Question

Are there any tools available to track the creation and lifetime of Java threads? I would be interested in all of the following:

• The call stack which called new Thread()
• The call stack which called start()
• The lifetime of the run() method

Answer 1

I have written and published an open source tool to answer this question.

Java Live Thread Analyser

I have blogged about the tool here.
