Java Thread Garbage collected or not

by

A running thread is considered a so called garbage collection root and is one of those things keeping stuff from being garbage collected. When the garbage collector determines whether your object is ‘reachable‘ or not, it is always doing so using the set of garbage collector roots as reference points.

Consider this, why is your main thread not being garbage collected, no one is referencing that one either.
