#23 WorkerThread int getState method clashes with Java 1.5

[Phil Shaw]

The class net.javacoding.jspider.core.threading.
WorkerThread has a method getState that clashes with
the Java 1.5 method in the superclass Thread. The
superclass expects the type java.lang.Thread.State to be
returned.

The Sun Java 1.5 compiler gives the error "attempting to
use incompatible return type".

This method is called in WorkerThreadPool, where it is
compared against WorkerThread.
WORKERTHREAD_BLOCKED, WorkerThread.
WORKERTHREAD_BUSY and WorkerThread.
WORKERTHREAD_IDLE.

I just bumped onto this prog. after having made my own
crappy multithreaded link checker...

anyway, back to this problem easy fix is to just rename the
getState() method in the WorkerThread.java to something of
your choice like getStateMod() ... and then changing the
call to the old getState() in your WorkerThreadPool to
getStateMod()... this is assuming it's not called
elsewhere.. if it is then crap..
