No. A thread stops by exiting the run method, then it is done. And how would a stopped thread restart itself? What you can do, is write your run() method to do whatever you want; in particular it could sense some condition and re-initialize itself. If you are using a Thread subclass and overriding run() (as opposed to passing the run method to the constructor) you can use the subclass to hold any state you need and you can write/call any other methods you need.
