AbstractTask, BasicTask, MethodBlockingTask, ObjectBlockingTask, RetrievableTask, StandardNonRetrievableTask
public interface Task<T>
extends java.lang.Runnable
A concrete Task is an object which has the ability to be wrapped inside of a Thread - in the same manner as a Runnable for multiple thread execution. The advantage to use a Task however, lies with with its extended capabilities from that of a Runnable. For example, an ObjectBlockingTask handles blocking and synchronization for objects in contention. As such, downstream consumers of Tasks are easily able to integrate multithreading into their own applications, without worrying about race conditions.
