  Description     : utility classes for concurrent java programming

The concurrent java library provides standardized, efficient versions of 
utility classes commonly encountered in concurrent Java programming. 
Discussions of the rationale and applications of several of these
classes can be found in the second edition of Concurrent Programming in Java. 

The package mainly consists of implementations of a few interfaces:

 * Sync -- locks, conditions
 * Channel -- queues, buffers
 * Barrier -- multi-party synchronization
 * SynchronizedVariable -- atomic ints, refs etc
 * java.util.Collection -- collections
 * Executor -- replacements for direct use of Thread

Plus some utilities and frameworks that build upon these.
