Description


A great number of bugs occur simply due to developers need to create their own
concurrency constructs on top of Java's very low-level non-oo concurrency
constructs or using the Java's primitive constructs directly (necessitating a
high-degree of domain knowledge in regard to concurrency issues in both
cases).

By creating a standard concurrency library, the comparatively few concurrency
experts can provide the typical developer a higher-level, debugged, object-
oriented aid in the development of concurrent applications.  The design
patterns and documentation that would accompany this library would also help to
increase the awareness and base level knowledge that the typical developer
would have regarding concurrent programming.

JSR-166 is developing such a library through the JCP.
