Rework replaces previous version completely. Using ExecutorService. Use of result object instead of static variables. Ugly example is left out.

/**
* ThreadLocal pattern
* <p>
* This App shows how to create an isolated space per each thread. In this
* example the usage of SimpleDateFormat is made to be thread-safe. This is an
* example of the ThreadLocal pattern.
* <p>
* By applying the ThreadLocal pattern you can keep track of application
* instances or locale settings throughout the handling of a request. The
* ThreadLocal class works like a static variable, with the exception that it is
* only bound to the current thread! This allows us to use static variables in a
* thread-safe way.
* <p>
* In Java, thread-local variables are implemented by the ThreadLocal class
* object. ThreadLocal holds a variable of type T, which is accessible via get/set
* methods.
* <p>
* SimpleDateFormat is one of the basic Java classes and is not thread-safe. If
* you do not isolate the instance of SimpleDateFormat per each thread then
* problems arise.
* <p>
* App converts the String date value 15/12/2015 to the Date format using the
* Java class SimpleDateFormat. It does this 20 times using 4 threads, each doing
* it 5 times. With the usage of as ThreadLocal in DateFormatCallable everything
* runs well. But if you comment out the ThreadLocal variant (marked with "//TLTL")
* and comment in the non ThreadLocal variant (marked with "//NTLNTL") you can
* see what will happen without the ThreadLocal. Most likely you will get incorrect
* date values and / or exceptions.
* <p>
* This example clearly show what will happen when using non thread-safe classes
* in a thread. In real life this may happen one in of 1.000 or 10.000 conversions
* and those are really hard to find errors.
