Re: [ThreadPool] Is this alive? Why not use commons-pool?

[David Graham <dg...@hotmail.com>]

Even though ThreadPool has "pool" in its name, it is fundamentally different 
that commons-pool.  The symantics of using a thread pool are quite different 
than a normal object pool.  Thread pools are better named task queues or 
work queues.

The upcoming Java 1.5 has built in support for thread pools in the new 
java.util.concurrent package.
