[ProgSoc] Java threads

["Reardon, Benjamin" <benjamin.reardon@nospam.eds.com>]

On a Java note, I have a function that calls multiple threads. The problem
is that there could easily be 5000+ threads in use at any one time. What
methods are available to tell when there are sufficent system resources to
permit an extra thread, or to put it another way, how do I know when the
system is incapable of supporting another thread (apart from the
program/system falling over)?
