The threading utilities that will be JDK 1.5 are basically a refactoring of Doug Lea's concurrency utilities that have available for some time as free/open source.

Steven, are you already using Doug Lea's stuff in the merlin core?
Stephen.
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?
Your not missing anything.
Everything to do with thread management is handled as private inner classes and methods under the assembly package. Main reason is that the entire thread management subject has a lot of room for evolution.
Stephen.
