Class MultiplexedThread

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Thread
      dsto.dfc.util.MultiplexedThread

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable

public class MultiplexedThread
extends Thread

Allows a thread to be multiplexed into several scheduled Runnable's. This is essentially Matthew's simple version of java.util.Timer that (a) allows tasks to re-schedule themselves inside their run () method (why did Sun actively block that?) and (b) allows managed shutdown-and-join (no way to tell when a cancelled Timer has finished running tasks).
