Package java.util.concurrent contains utility classes that are |
| 29 |
|
commonly useful in concurrent programming. Like package java.util, it |
| 30 |
|
includes a few small standardized extensible frameworks, as well as |
| 98 |
|
Futures. This is supported in part by defining java.lang.Callable, the |
| 99 |
|
argument/result analog of Runnable. |

< |
<p> While the Executor framework is intended to be extensible (so |
| 102 |
< |
includes for example, AbstractExecutor that simplifies construction of |
| 103 |
< |
new implementations), the most commonly used Executor will be |
| 104 |
< |
ThreadExecutor, which can be configured to act as all sorts of thread |
| 105 |
< |
pools, background threads, etc. The class is designed to be general |
| 106 |
< |
enough to suffice for the vast majority of usages, even sophisticated |
| 96 |
< |
ones, yet also includes methods and functionality that simplify |
| 97 |
< |
routine usage. |
