title: Java - Bring the dead thread back to alive
body: <p>The following question was asked in one of my interview (few years back)</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><em>What are all the possibilities/ways to bring the dead thread back to alive(Runnable State)</em></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have defended that there is no way. But he was pressing me to think. Are there any options available really? Or Was he just checking my confidence on my answers?</p>
