Answer 1

Perhaps a ThreadGroup is what you need. All Threads are members of a ThreadGroup and when you start a new Thread it is added to the same group as its parent by default.

In theory its possible (but not recommended) to sub-class to be notified when a Thread is added or removed from the group.

It is likely that polling the threads of this groups, or polling all threads is a better solution.
