The results from the tasks being executed might * also be placed in a queue, or the tasks might return no result. Typically, there are many * more tasks than threads. As soon as a thread completes its task, it will request the next * task from the queue until all tasks have been completed. The thread can then terminate, or * sleep until there are new tasks available. * * In this example we create a list of tasks presenting work to be done. Each task is then * wrapped into a Worker object that implements Runnable. We create an ExecutorService with * fixed number of threads (Thread Pool) and use them to execute the Workers. * */ public class App { public static void main( String[] args ) { System.out.println("Program started"); // Create a list of tasks to be executed List tasks = new ArrayList<>(); tasks.add(new PotatoPeelingTask(3)); tasks.add(new PotatoPeelingTask(6)); tasks.add(new CoffeeMakingTask(2)); tasks.add(new CoffeeMakingTask(6)); tasks.add(new PotatoPeelingTask(4)); tasks.add(new CoffeeMakingTask(2)); tasks.add(new PotatoPeelingTask(4)); tasks.add(new CoffeeMakingTask(9)); tasks.add(new PotatoPeelingTask(3)); tasks.add(new CoffeeMakingTask(2)); tasks.add(new PotatoPeelingTask(4)); tasks.add(new CoffeeMakingTask(2)); tasks.add(new CoffeeMakingTask(7)); tasks.add(new PotatoPeelingTask(4)); tasks.add(new PotatoPeelingTask(5)); // Creates a thread pool that reuses a fixed number of threads operating off a shared // unbounded queue.
