+            [Java] #1334 Set Java thread name to native thread name when using directors.
+
+            Default is to use name "Thread-XXX" and is still works like this by default. However,
+            adding the following will turn on the thread name setting (works for more recent
+            versions of Linux and MacOS):
+
+            %begin %{
+            #define SWIG_JAVA_USE_THREAD_NAME
+            %}
