I still don't see how this solves my problem. In "main" (controller) I have:

public static Thread txToLanThreadRef;

TxToLanThread txToLanThread = new TxToLanThread(); txToLanThread.start();
txToLanThreadRef = txToLanThread.runningNow;

However, when I try to access it elsewhere, this does not work

controller.txToLanThreadRef.

I need to access the handler in the thread so I can send it a message

Static variables like this are not considered best practice.  Consider some 
alternatives, including factories, a context object, or some sort of generic 
message system.

"Does not work" is a little unspecific.  What error/problem do you get?
  Can you make a short, complete, compilable example that duplicates the
problem?

It should work, must work, even, according to the Java programming language.  
If there's an issue, it must be with the way you are using it.  Please show us.
