GeneratorObjectPool changes the behavior of object pooling in the borrowObject method. Previous object pooling implementations, when attempting to borrow an object from an empty pool, would create an object for the requestor; blocking until the object was created and then returning that object. This is especially inefficient for object pooling... <snip> GeneratorObjectPool does not block to create an object when a request hits an empty pool. Instead it schedules a TimerTask to run at the earliest time possible. This TimerTask creates an object and puts it into the pool. While the TimerTask is running, the requestor is looking for any object to return to the pool, not just the one that it asked to be created.
This sounds like a good enhancement to [pool]. As you indicated a JDK1.3 version would be useful.
Also, I don't think it saves any time if you create the pool and then immediately extract an object from the pool, so that would need to be documented.
