Since Java 1.5 there is a lot of functionality in the area of thread synchronization and multi-threaded programming. However, there are certainly still missing features or APIs that could be improved or made easier to use.

How about adding such features to an upcoming version of Commons Lang? What I have in mind is things like the following:

* Some utility methods related to ExecutorServices, e.g. handling of ExecutionException, shutting down an executor and waiting for its termination, etc.
* A generic(s) implementation of the lazy initialization pattern.
* A caching service offering more concurrency when creating the objects to be cached is expensive.
* Maybe some specialized synchronization primitives.

Surely more points can be added to this list.

WDYT?
