Java
provides a facility that user can group threads, and provide
securities, priorities based on the group. There is only one root
thread group, and a root thread group contains threads and other
thread groups. Same applicable to other thread groups also, a thread
group can contain other threads or other thread groups.
A
Thread belongs to exactly one group. Thread Groups are similar to
directories in System. Threads in the Thread group are similar to
files in a directory. A directory can contain other directories and
files, like that a Thread group can contain other thread groups and
threads.
As we know, there is always a thread called main thread runs, whenever the main method called. The main thread by default in the thread group “main”.
Below is the toString() implementation for the Thread class. When a thread object is called in the print method, toString() is invoked by default.

public String toString() { ThreadGroup group = getThreadGroup(); if (group != null) { return "Thread[" + getName() + "," + getPriority() + "," + group.getName() + "]"; } else { return "Thread[" + getName() + "," + getPriority() + "," + "" + "]"; } }
As you observe, it prints thread name followed by priority of the thread followed by Thread group name, if it exists.
class ThreadEx{ public static void main(String args[]){ System.out.println(Thread.currentThread()); } }
Output
Thread[main,5,main]
Thread[main,5,main]
: "main" is the thread name
Thread[main,5,main] :5 is the priority of the thread
Thread[main,5,main] :"main" is the group name of the current thread.
Thread[main,5,main] :5 is the priority of the thread
Thread[main,5,main] :"main" is the group name of the current thread.
