Not to mention Thread.run() :)

These kinds of things, and many others, are reasons I usually advise shops that are just starting Java to bring in a trusted, knowledgeable resource, and take some real-life oriented classes if possible. Instead, it's often "it's just another language, gotta code, gotta code."

One local company was so disgusted that I wanted to teach fundamentals in an on-site class series that they cancelled after three sessions in favor of straight ahead coding. My own estimation is that decision has cost them at least a quarter million dollars (people working there have larger estimates) while their users suffered, and continue to suffer, from those early attempts.
