Hi,

My understanding is  when a main thread dies, all of its daemon threads
will die as well.

What about user thread?  when will it die? after it run() method completes?

Advice is greatly appreciated

The JVM stops when there are only daemon threads left running in the 
JVM.  If by "main" thread you mean the thread that runs the main() 
method, that does not have much to do with it.  If there are other 
non-daemon threads running when that thread stops, daemon threads 
will continue running.

Yes.
