Overview
This package contains Java utility classes covering diverse programming areas, including: specialized and primitive collections, networking, stream-based I/O, class and resource loading, JAR files and resources, concurrent processing, distributed processing, security, XML parsing, handling configuration files, Swing GUI, memory management, and garbage collection integration. Details can be found in the Features page. Some of these classes are relatively simple, whereas some are substantial; some introduce new APIs and functionality while others workaround problems found in standard Java APIs.
These classes were originally developed to fulfull needs of specialized projects by DCL, such as RMIX and H2O. Over time, they grew to become a separate, substantial, organized package. Importantly, because of their origin, these utilities solve actual programming problems that we have encountered along the way in one of our projects.
Emory Utilities package contains backport-util-concurrent.
