Two things:
First, Thread.current.sleep() will not compile! There is no 'current' symbol/variable/member/attribute (or any other fancy term) in the
Thread class. I assume that you meant Thread.currentThread().sleep().
Now, the answer is: There is no difference.
But the sencond thing is, this is not an issue of threads or even the Thread class it has to do with simple
Java.
The sleep() method as well as the currentThread() are static. When using the sleep method directly, you cause the current thread to sleep. Now, if you do your thing with the currentThread() you are just doing extra work.
Consider this:
One note on threading: You cannot put thread A to sleep from thread B.
