Executor Framework
As demonstrated in the ExecutorClientScheduler.java on page 321, the Executor framework introduced in Java 5 allows for sophisticated execution using thread pools. This is a class in the java.util.concurrent package.
If you are creating threads and are not using a thread pool or are using a hand-written one, you should consider using the Executor. It will make your code cleaner, easier to follow, and smaller.
