Errr, Doug Lea is hardly an unknown source. You might want to look at the books he's authored and reconsider.

Its just unsupported code at this point and it seems to come from someone's personal webpage. This isn't really the type of thing I want to put in a production project, is it? I trust that the author's intentions are good, but the source seems a bit sketchy, especially for something that provides threading support, which is inherently complex. I'd feel more confident if it were an actively developed project from a known source, or preferably, if the dependency were removed all-together because it seems like the need for it is based on JDK 1.3. --ee On Apr 2, 2007, at 11:51 PM, Smuts, Aaron wrote: > I don't understand your concerns.
