The way I see it it's not about wrapping, but its about managing. So some uses could be: a) List the scheduled/recurring tasks. b) Cancel a task. c) reschedule a task. d) pause/resume the execution of a task. On top of that, the fact that we can have a single shared thread pool that is going to be used to execute those tasks has value on its own. -- *Ioannis Canellos* * http://iocanel.blogspot.com Apache Karaf <http://karaf.apache.org/> Committer & PMC Apache ServiceMix <http://servicemix.apache.org/> Committer Apache Gora <http://incubator.apache.org/gora/> Committer *
