Er? yes? I suppose it is good, yes. Using them is quite straight-forward at least. You need to implement your things in a Runnable and offer them to a 'Executor', which will then run it, e.g. using a thread-pool. It's quite easy. AFAIK, using a thread-pool is good, because threads are heavy to start up. You need threads when filtering streams (Like in this ChainedTransformer, and also in your IECompatibleInputStream a new Thread is used). The other concurrency features seems interesting too, and it may be good to already (be able to) use that too. E.g. a ConcurrentMap is thread-safe, but will never (or almost never) lock on reads.
