Hello, I was recently debugging an issue where threads' ids were used to identify an origin thread. The issue turned out to be that the getId method was overridden to return 0 for a row of threads in unrelated code, what broke that processing.
I do now wonder if it would be a good idea to offer a new method on java.lang.Thread that returns the thread id but that is final. Possibly, getId should be deprecated in favour of that new method. Or is there a valid reason to override getId that I am missing? Thanks, Rafael
