The purpose of the ``++Thread.run()++`` method is to execute code in a separate, dedicated thread. Calling this method directly doesn't make sense because it causes its code to be executed in the current thread.
To get the expected behavior, call the ``++Thread.start()++`` method instead.
== Noncompliant Code Example
----
Thread myThread = new Thread(runnable);
myThread.run(); // Noncompliant
----
== Compliant Solution
----
Thread myThread = new Thread(runnable);
myThread.start(); // Compliant
----
== See
* http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/572.html[MITRE, CWE-572] - Call to Thread run() instead of start()
