Concurrency control utilities.

This is deprecated in favor of Doug Lea's concurrency utils.

Overview

This package provides utility classes commonly needed in concurrent java programming. They include important thread handling classes like Lock (a Mutex implementation), DjikstraSemaphore, ThreadBarrier, and ConditionalEvent. Read the javadocs for more information, and check out the excalibur 4.1 release for sample usage.

Move to Doug Lea's concurrency package!

Doug Lea's util.concurrent package is the de-facto standard for concurrency management, and it provides all the functionality of Excalibur Concurrent. It is intended to be the replacement of the Collections code in Excalibur.
