Need help with an error message

Got a multithreaded chat program running but I'm getting a warning message and i'm not sure what it means:

Warning(43,14): method stop() in class java.lang.Thread has been deprecated

it refers to this line which should close the thread on the server when a user logs out:

this.stop();

What am i doing wrong here?

Thanks

# 1

Instead of "this.stop()", which I presume is in the Thread's run() method, just make it exit out of the run() method.

# 2

stop() forcibly kills a thread. You shouldn't use this method because if the thread is in a critical section of code, you can cause data corruption or deadlock.Instead, if you need to stop execution from another thread, invoke the interrupt() method.Good luck.
