framework.tasks.Task Scheduling Framework

This is a framework designed to schedule and execute tasks with a fixed Thread Pool.

Usage

1. You need to define a size for your Thread Pool, and a maximum queue capacity (maximum number of tasks enqueued). IE: framework.pool.ThreadPool threadPool = new framework.pool.FixedSizeThreadPool(3, 2000). For now, FixedThreadPool is the only implementation, but in the future there may be alternatives like an auto resizing framework pool. This must be done using try-with-resources, since the framework.pool.ThreadPool implements the AutoCloseable interface. Example:

        try(framework.pool.ThreadPool threadPool = new framework.pool.FixedSizeThreadPool(3, 2000)) {
            // Your code here, tipically submission of tasks as detailed below.  
        } 

2. You need to submit tasks for your Thread Pool. This can be done either via lambda, using anonymous classes:

threadPool.submitTask(() -> {
    System.out.println("Starting task");
    Thread.sleep(1000l);
    System.out.println("Ending task");
    return UUID.randomUUID();
});

Or in a more traditional manner, with classes implementing the framework.tasks.Task interface:

import framework.tasks.Task;

public class framework.tasks.HelloWorldTask implements Task<String> {
    @Override
    public String run() throws InterruptedException {
        return "Hello World";
    }
}

//...

threadPool.submitTask(new framework.tasks.HelloWorldTask());

3. After all submitted tasks have been concluded, your framework.pool.ThreadPool will automatically be deleted, along with all it's threads.
