public class DisplayThread extends Thread
{

    public DisplayThread(String threadName)
    {
        super(threadName);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        DisplayThread displayThread1 = new DisplayThread("DisplayThread-1");
        displayThread1.start();

        DisplayThread displayThread2 = new DisplayThread("DisplayThread-2");
        displayThread2.start();

    }

    public void run()
    {
        /*
         * Returns a reference to the currently executing
         * thread object.
         */
        Thread thread = Thread.currentThread();
        String threadName = thread.getName();
        System.out.println("Run by = " + threadName);
    }
}

Output

Run by = DisplayThread-1
Run by = DisplayThread-2
