<p>JSR-166 introduces package <code>java.util.concurrent</code> |
| 19 |
|
containing utility classes commonly useful in concurrent |
| 20 |
|
programming. Like package <code>java.util</code>, it includes a few small |
| 29 |
|
data structures, to high-level execution agents including thread |
| 30 |
|
pools. This diversity reflects the range of contexts in which |
| 31 |

developers of concurrent programs have been found to require or desire |

support not previously available in J2SE, which also keeping the |

resulting package small; providing only functionality that has been |
