my answer is that you can use both techiques with the same result - a real Thread from the underlying OS will be started.

Correct. If you stop() it, the way to fire it back up is to use start(). There is no major difference between using stop() - start() and suspend() - resume(). The choice I would make would depend on details of the frequency of the action, and the probable state of the thread at the time of suspension/stopping.<br />

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
