I am surprised that this got just one mention so far.  In absence of 
Executor (which has some issues, as has been mentioned) this is the most 
straightforward way to do it.

// untested and from memory
final Thread[] threads = new Thread[15];

for ( int i = 0; i < threads.length; ++i ) {
   final Thread th = new Thread(...);
   th.start();
   threads[i] = th;
}

for ( final Thread th : threads ) {
   th.join();
}

Kind regards
