I agree that an agent based solution is probably the easiest. The Thread 
constructors or start method could be instrumented (depending on if the 
parent is considered to be the thread that creates the Thread or the 
thread that invokes start). Should be doable with with a JVM TI or 
j.l.instrument agent.
