For long, I have been using Runnable interface to get the long running non interactive natured stuff done in the background. In some previous posts, I had mentioned the crude way of using ThreadGroup to achieve pooling sort of control. It was also fun working on a task scheduler that ran tasks in controlled set of threads. Logically, what do you need ? The pool size, the Runnable targets, an infinite loop and a data structure to control the thread scheduling !! So the code looked really.. as we call in India.. 'Fundooo' ! But when I look at the Concurrent package, the same code looks like a floppy disk in front of a DVD. I haven't explored the package completely so don't want to say a blue ray disk.
