| Simple task executor interface that abstracts the execution
of a
Runnable .
Implementations can use all sorts of different execution strategies,
such as: synchronous, asynchronous, using a thread pool, and more.
Equivalent to JDK 1.5's
java.util.concurrent.Executor interface. Separate mainly for compatibility with JDK 1.3+.
Implementations can simply implement the JDK 1.5 Executor
interface as well, as it defines the exact same method signature.
