Executors

Factory and utility methods for Executor, ExecutorService, ScheduledExecutorService, ThreadFactory, and Callable classes defined in this package.
This class supports the following kinds of methods:

• Methods that create and return an ExecutorService set up with commonly useful configuration settings.
• Methods that create and return a ScheduledExecutorService set up with commonly useful configuration settings.
• Methods that create and return a "wrapped" ExecutorService, that disables reconfiguration by making implementation-specific methods inaccessible.
• Methods that create and return a ThreadFactory that sets newly created threads to a known state.
• Methods that create and return a Callable out of other closure-like forms, so they can be used in execution methods requiring Callable
