How do I access the thread lanSendThread from another class in another
file?
The same way you'd access it if it were an ArrayList or
a JButton or a File: You save the reference somewhere and dish it out to
interested parties. There must be two or three jillion ways to do this; a few
of them are
- Make `lanSendThread' a public member of the controller
class (poor choice of name, by the way). You may or may
not want to make that member `final'.
- Make `lanSendThread' a private member of the controller
class, and write a public getThread() method to return it.
- Stash the value of `lanSendThread' in a Map or other data
structure, and "publicize" the data structure and/or
accessors for it.
