Creating a thread using implementing Runnable interface
are more advisable. Suppose we are creating a thread by
extending a thread class, we cannot extend any other class.
If we create a thread by implementing Runnable interface,
we can extend another class.

Hi...To create a Thread ,implement the Runnable interface
it is more advisable than extending a Thread class.By
extending the Thread class u can't achieve the multiple
inheritance.So implementing the Runnable interface is good
programming practice.
public class ThreadTest extends Thread,Applet
//This is illegal
public class ThreadTest extends Applet implements Runnable
//This is legal.

Suppose ..you want to work with thread and also with a
class from AWT package.
java rule is that : YOu cannot extend more one class in
your program.
So it is adviseable to implement the runnable interface and
extend any other class which you desire....
