Interupt is the method on the thread to distrub or interupt on the other thread which are under execution.

Where as the join method is used to say t.join() is to suspend the current thread operation for a time being and go to the other thread and return back after completing the other task.

t.join();

t.join(200);//here the current thread is suspended for a 200msec,with in this time u have to return back after completing the task.

In fact when interupt() is called it set's a flag in the thread class, which can be further checked in the run() method by using isInterupted() meth. Where as join() let the current thread to wait until the thread object on which it called is terminated.
