> There're 4 ways to generate a thread dump. I have taken the output from the same run with 
> different methods:
> 1.- kill -3. Can be parsed by tools like https://tda.dev.java.net/ (simply, one of the most useful 
> tools I've found out there!). Example:
> "JBossLifeThread" prio=1 tid=0x0a690cc0 nid=0x1741 in Object.wait() [0x867f2000..0x867f30b0]
>         at java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method)
>         - waiting on <0x9247e200> (a java.lang.Object)
>         at java.lang.Object.wait(Object.java:474)
>         at org.jboss.system.server.ServerImpl$LifeThread.run(ServerImpl.java:940)
>         - locked <0x9247e200> (a java.lang.Object)	
> 2.- JMX via org.jboss.system.server.ServerInfo.listThreadDump(). Here's some output:
> Thread: JBossLifeThread : priority:5, demon:false, threadId:58, threadState:WAITING, lockName:java.l
> ang.Object at 10cff6b
> java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method)
> java.lang.Object.wait(Object.java:474)
> org.jboss.system.server.ServerImpl$LifeThread.run(ServerImpl.java:940)	
> Lock name is different to lock monitor achieved via kill -3. Doesn't looks like it prints previously locked 
> monitors. Cannot be parsed by TDA tools because it's in JBoss specific format. 
> 3.- Thread.getAllStackTraces().
> Haven't tested the output from this. What would this print? Couldn't find an MBean that uses/parses 
> the output from this, but I suspect it's the same as method 2, specially since 
> http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1448 has already been fixed.
> 4.- JConsole Threads view:
> Code:
> Name: JBossLifeThread
> State: WAITING on java.lang.Object at 10cff6b
> Total blocked: 0  Total waited: 1
> Stack trace: 
> java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method)
> java.lang.Object.wait(Object.java:474)
> org.jboss.system.server.ServerImpl$LifeThread.run(ServerImpl.java:940)	
> Seems to print same info as JBoss' ServerInfo.
> Bottom line: we should try generating thread dumps that look like kill -3 
> output to make them more readable than in their current format and to 
> benefit from existing tools that can parse standard kill -3 format.
