I have a Java application that I CAN'T EDIT that starts a Thread wich has this run method:

public void run(){
   while(true){
     System.out.println("Something");
   }
}

And at a certain moment I wanna stop it, but if I use thread.interrupt(); it won't work. If I use thread.stop(); it works, but this method is deprecated and its use is discouraged because soon it will be removed from JVM.

Does anyone knows how to do it?

Thank you.
