Paul Turner reopened ETCH-258:
------------------------------
Use of the CallerRunsPolicy in TodoManager in patch will mean that the caller
thread will execute the PoolRunnable. Scott mentioned that this will cause
problems due to possible deadlocking.
Reopened while I create a new RejectedExecutionHandler that will sleep when
work queue is full as in original implementation .
> Switch to using util.concurrent instead of pre Java 5 threading constructs
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

> thread creation is quite expensive and so a new thread per unit of work is
> also expensive, i propose to use util.concurrent threadpools in the java
> binding sub-project and enhance unit tests e.g. with countdown latches to
> ensure competing test threads start simeltanously and semaphore to throttle
> access to running units of work.
> affects FreePool, TodoManager and associated tests and possibly more classes
