<p>JSR-166 introduces package <tt>java.util.concurrent</tt> |
27 |
|
containing utility classes commonly useful in concurrent |
28 |
|
programming. Like package <tt>java.util</tt>, it includes a few small |
29 |
|
standardized extensible frameworks, as well as other classes that |
30 |
|
provide useful functionality and are otherwise tedious or difficult to |
31 |
|
implement. |

<p>JSR-166 focuses on breadth, providing critical functionality |
34 |
|
useful across a wide range of concurrent programming styles and |
35 |
|
applications, ranging from low-level atomic operations, to |
36 |
|
customizable locks and synchronization aids, to various concurrent |

|
class: |

<ul> |

|
<li> It now allows per-thread installation of handlers for uncaught |
63 |
< |
exceptions. Ths optionally disassociates handlers from ThreadGroups, |
63 |
> |
exceptions. This optionally disassociates handlers from ThreadGroups, |
64 |
|
which has proven to be too inflexible. (Note that the combination of |
65 |
|
features in JSR-166 make ThreadGroups even less likely to be used in |
66 |
|
most programs. Perhaps they will eventually be deprecated.) |
