+ Please note that one of the reasons this component is still in the sandbox and has
+ never had a 1.0 release is Doug Lea's excellent
+ <a href="http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl">util.concurrent library</a>. That library
+ works with many JDKs, is full-featured, well-documented, and well-tested. That
+ library is also a standard part of the JDK starting with JDK 1.5, as the
+ java.util.concurrent library: it is specified in the
+ <a href="http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=166">JSR 166 standard.</a>
+ <br />
+ All of this is not to say commons-sandbox-threadpool is useless. As with most
+ Apache products, the development and release of this component is driven by
+ user requests and developer interest.
