+== Why is this an issue?
+
+The `Thread` class has some methods that are used to monitor and manage its execution.
+With the introduction of virtual threads in Java 21, there are three of these methods that behave differently
+between the standard platform threads and the virtual ones.
+
+For virtual threads:
+
+* `Thread.setDaemon(boolean)` will throw an `IllegalArgumentException` if `false` is passed as an argument as a virtual thread daemon status is always true.
+* `Thread.setPriority(int priority)` will never change the actual priority of a virtual thread, which is always equal to `Thread.NORM_PRIORITY`
+* `Thread.getThreadGroup()` will return a dummy "VirtualThreads" group that is empty and should not be used
+
+This rule reports an issue when one of these methods is invoked on a virtual thread.
+
+=== Code examples
+
+==== Noncompliant code example
+
+[source,java]
+----
+Thread t = Thread.ofVirtual().unstarted(()->{/* some task */});
+t.setPriority(1); // Noncompliant; virtual threads' priority cannot be changed
+t.setDaemon(false); // Noncompliant; will throw IllegalArgumentException
+t.setDaemon(true); // Noncompliant; redundant
+t.start();
+var threadGroup = t.getThreadGroup(); // Noncompliant; virtual thread groups should not be used
