Doug Lea's Concurrency pages are what pointed me to JDK 1.5 and JCP 166 in the first place. I tried to get a version of the Concurrency stuff, but it required Generics, which will also be implemented with JDK 1.5 rather than needing an external tool. I also don't see anything (out of the 3.2 javadoc) that talks about allocating worker threads and the like. Is this one of the ideas you describe or am I missing something that's accounted for elsewhere? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
