Hi all,

All you have to do is create classes that extend Thread, implement their run() methods and then instantiate and call their start() methods:
public class Class1 extends Thread {
  public void run() {
    // do what you need to do
public class Class2 extends Thread {
  public void run() {
    // do what you need to do
public class Class3 extends Thread {
  public void run() {
    // do what you need to do
public class Main {
  public static void main (String [] args) {
    Class1 c1 = new Class1();
    Class2 c2 = new Class2();
    Class3 c3 = new Class3();
    c1.start();
    c2.start();
    c3.start();
}
