Are you saying that this won't print out "Dead"?

   public class Stopped {
       public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
           Thread t = new Thread() {
                   public void run() {
                       try {
                           Thread.sleep(10000);
                       } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
                           System.out.println("Interrupted");
                       } catch (ThreadDeath td) {
                           System.out.println("Dead");
                       }
                   }
               };

           t.start();
           Thread.sleep(4000);
           System.out.println("Stopping");
           t.stop();
       }
   }

I get:

   Stopping
   Dead
