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 {@link Worker} object that implements {@link Runnable}. We create an * {@link ExecutorService} with fixed number of threads (Thread Pool) and use them to execute the * {@link Worker}s. * */ public class App { /** * Program entry point * * @param args command line args */ 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.
