JDK-4486658 - add concurrency library into Java core (JSR-166)
Description

Name: stC104175			Date: 03/24/2000


java version "1.3beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3beta-O)
Java(TM) HotSpot Client VM (build 1.3beta-O, mixed mode)

Please make it easier to re-use threads or pooling threads
by allowing to assign another Runnable if the
Thread is not alive (died or not yet started).

E.g. in java.lang.Thread:
public void assign(Runnable newRunnable);

This would give the Runnable interface more attention.

EVALUATION Equivalent (and safer) functionality will be provided in the upcoming concurrency utilities, which includes a flexible execution framework. ###@###.### 2002-04-26
