Using ThreadGroup
can be a useful diagnostic technique in big application servers with thousands of threads. If your threads are logically grouped together, then when you get a stack trace you can see which group the offending thread was part of (e.g. "Tomcat threads", "MDB threads", "thread pool X", etc), which can be a big help in tracking down and fixing the problem.
