Java virtual machine - maximum number of threads
<p>What are the maximum number of threads which can be maintained by the java virtual machine?</p>

<p>"I did not explain this in my orignial question, but I am trying to benchmark the JVM and would like to try and see how many threads it can concurrently maintain. Creating threads in a loop until an exception is thrown is an option, however, I would like to know if there is a better way to do this."</p>
