27 |

containing utility classes commonly useful in concurrent |

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 |

customizable locks and synchronization aids, to various concurrent |

which has proven to be too inflexible. (Note that the combination of |

most programs. Perhaps they will eventually be deprecated.) |

<li> The <tt>destroy</tt> method, which has never been implemented, |
