Re: Setting a Thread name in a ThreadPool

This is simpler if you just need a single name for all threads in the
pool.  My requirement at the time was for a different name per runnable
so I had to do it differently.

You can use:

ThreadFactory factory = new ThreadFactory() {
  public Thread newThread(Runnable r) {
    return new Thread(r, "threadname");
  }
};
Executors.newCachedThreadPool(factory);
