The Threads window contains the following two tabs:
- Threads (Timeline). This tab displays thread states over time.
You can zoom in/out on the current view, or switch to the Scale to Fit mode. States can be displayed
for all threads, all live threads or all finished threads according to the combobox selection. You can also
define a subset of threads to be displayed using a (multi)selection. Double-clicking a thread
displays the details of that thread in the Threads (Details) tab.
- Threads (Details). This tab displays more detailed information about
individual threads. Use the dropdown list in the Threads tab toolbar to select which threads
to display. The name, classname and current status (alive/finished) of each thread is
displayed. A short description of the thread is also provided.
The tab contains the following two tabs:
- General. This tab displays a pie graph illustrating thread state statistics.
- Details. This tab contains a full listing of the thread's states,
with timestamps. A timeline for each thread provides a quick
overview of that thread's activity while it is being monitoring.
