I like your solution. It provides for the Open Close OO design principle while the solution I proposed is not.
One thing that I noticed though when I tried to run your code on Oracle Java 7 JVM is
Error:(44, 32) java: local variable threadId is accessed from within inner class; needs to be declared final
So you need to change the method declaration to

private static Thread setThread(final Lock lock, final Condition condition, int actualThreadId, int nextThreadId, final ThreadId threadId)

You are right! However all the method parameters should be final. My Eclipse -> Save Action didnt work properly that time...

Here is my take using C

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <semaphore.h>  /* Semaphore */

#define THREADS 3
sem_t mutex1;
sem_t mutex2;
sem_t mutex3;

//function prototypes
void * monitor_thread1 (void* data);
void * monitor_thread2 (void* data);
void * monitor_thread3 (void* data);
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

	pthread_t tid[THREADS];
	
	sem_init(&mutex1, 0, 1);
	sem_init(&mutex2, 0, 0);
	sem_init(&mutex3, 0, 0);
        
	   pthread_create(&tid[2], NULL,monitor_thread3, NULL);
	   pthread_create(&tid[0], NULL,monitor_thread1, NULL);
	   pthread_create(&tid[1], NULL,monitor_thread2, NULL);

	   pthread_join(tid[0], NULL);
	   pthread_join(tid[1], NULL);
	   pthread_join(tid[2], NULL);
	
	 sem_destroy(&mutex1);
	 sem_destroy(&mutex2);
	 sem_destroy(&mutex3);
	 
	 
    return 0;

}


void * monitor_thread1 (void* data)
{

	int i,j=1;
	for (i=0;i<10;i++){
 sem_wait(&mutex1);       /* down semaphore */
	printf("%d \n",j);
 sem_post(&mutex2);       /* down semaphore */
	}
//sleep(1);
return;
}
	
void * monitor_thread2 (void* data)
{

	int i,j=2;
	for (i=0;i<10;i++){
 sem_wait(&mutex2);       /* down semaphore */
	printf("%d \n",j);
 sem_post(&mutex3);       /* down semaphore */
//sleep(1);

	}
return;
}

void * monitor_thread3 (void* data)
{

	int i,j=3;
	for (i=0;i<10;i++){
 sem_wait(&mutex3);       /* down semaphore */
	printf("%d \n",j);
 sem_post(&mutex1);       /* down semaphore */
}
//sleep(1);
return;
}

Well, how about they all access an integer and check it's value, if it is 1 - first thread allowed to print and after printing change it to "2" , and so on ?

or am I missing something here?

Here is the working code in java. By updating the constant value "TOTAL_THREADS", we can instantiate 'n' number of threads that co-ordinates with each other to print the numbers in order 1,2,3,4,...n,1,2,3,4,...n........

import java.util.concurrent.locks.*;

class PrintTest
{  
	private Lock _Lock;
	private int _ThreadReadyCount;	
	private final int TOTAL_THREADS = 5;

	private Condition _Ready;

	}

	{

	}

			}

	{

Can anyone verify this code?
It is correct??

#include "pch.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <mutex>
#include <condition_variable>

using namespace std;

condition_variable c1, c2;
mutex m1, m2;

void function_1() {
	while (1) {
		unique_lock<mutex> l(m1);
		c1.wait(l);
		cout << 1;
		this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::seconds(1));
		c2.notify_one();
	}
}

void function_2() {
	while (1) {
		unique_lock<mutex> l(m2);
		c2.wait(l);
		cout << 2;
		this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::seconds(1));
		c1.notify_one();
	}
}

int main() {
	thread t1(function_1);
	thread t2(function_2);
	c1.notify_one();
	t1.join();
	t2.join();
	return 0;
}

Try creating a class that implements Runnable that outputs the number then sleeps, giving other threads enough time to output their number. Running them in order will then give you your result. Is that what you were looking for?

public void thread123() {
		MyThread thread1 = new MyThread(1);
		MyThread thread2 = new MyThread(2);
		MyThread thread3 = new MyThread(3);
		
		while (true) {
			thread1.run();
			thread2.run();
			thread3.run();
		}
	}
	
	
	class MyThread implements Runnable {
		int data = 0;
		
		public MyThread(int data) {
			this.data = data;
		}
		
		public void run() {
			System.out.print(data + " ");
			try {
				Thread.sleep(1000);
			}
			catch (Exception e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
		}		
	}

MyThread is runnable.
So to start a thread you must pass this object to a thread constructor and then call start() method of the thread. So it's not multithreading, what you are are doing.
You are running a single threaded program. It's not the answer.

This doesn't guarantee the order. One way to implement is to keep three conditional variable like con12, con23 and con31 and make the thread 1 and 2 wait and notify on con12, make thread 2 and 3 wait and notify on con23 so on...
