printStackTrace function problem

[vaibhavc]

hi all,

I am trying to compile following code but getting error.
Can you please let me know what is the problem with following code?

import java.lang.Runnable;
import java.lang.Thread;
/**
*
* @author vaibhavc
*/
public class MyThread implements Runnable{

/** Creates a new instance of MyThread */
public MyThread() {
}
public void run(){
System.out.println("Method called");
System.out.println(printStackTrace());
}

public static void main (String[] args){
Thread main_thread = Thread.currentThread();
Thread.currentThread().printStackTrace();
Thread t = new Thread(new MyThread());
t.start();
}
}

What error message are you seeing? Does it have anything to do with the method currentThread not having a method printStackTrace? You need to allow the compiler to know that your priority is to have the Thread.currentThread method to return a Thread object, whose printStackTrace method will be called. Help the compiler with your priority by using parenthesis:

(Thread.currentThread()).printStackTrace();
