Daemon and non-daemon threads

[ricky gonzalez]

Hi, I read it some where on this forum that JVM exits when main thread exits, but I also read some where else that JVM ONLY exits when there are no more non-daemon threads running. My question is.....what if there are still non-daemon threads running even tho when main thread had already finished? Will JVM then exit because main thread had finished?

No.It will wait till the non-daemon threads are finished.And then JVM exits. check this link whereMahaAnna has explained with example.
