This can be achieved using ExecutorService and Future. We need to create a set of Future and submit each thread to it. The execution will be asynchronous though.

A thread pool manages the pool of worker threads, it contains a queue that keeps tasks waiting to get executed.

A thread pool manages the collection of Runnable threads and worker threads execute Runnable from the queue.
WorkerThread.java

public class WorkerThread implements Runnable {
     
    private String command;
     
    public WorkerThread(String s){
        this.command=s;
    }
 
    @Override
    public void run() {
        System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+" Start. Command = "+command);
        processCommand();
        System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+" End.");
    }
 
    private void processCommand() {
        try {
            Thread.sleep(5000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
 
    @Override
    public String toString(){
        return this.command;
    }
}

SimpleThreadPool.java

public class SimpleThreadPool {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(5);
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            Runnable worker = new WorkerThread("" + i);
            executor.execute(worker);
          }
        executor.shutdown();
        while (!executor.isTerminated()) {
        }
        System.out.println("Finished all threads");
    }
 
}
