JDK-6880336 - SwingWorker deadlocks due one thread in the swingworker-pool
Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I wanted to create 27 instances of the SwingWorker class , but only 10 can be created (I have got only 10). I the documentation, that fact is missing.


URL OF FAULTY DOCUMENTATION :
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/swing/SwingWorker.html
Comments
I could create 100 instances of SwingWorker class and scheduled all of them for execution. MAX_WORKER_THREADS just a thread pool size per app context. And the class documentation clarifies that a thread chosen for the SwingWorker execution is not specified: Several background threads can be used to execute such tasks. However, the exact strategy of choosing a thread for any particular {@code SwingWorker} is unspecified and should not be relied on.
