	 *       // Perform the task
	 *   }
	 * 
* This method is typically not used in conjunction with * fixed-delay execution repeating tasks, as their scheduled * execution times are allowed to drift over time, and so are not terribly * significant. * * @return the time at which the most recent execution of this task was * scheduled to occur, in the format returned by Date.getTime(). * The return value is undefined if the task has yet to commence * its first execution. * @see Date#getTime() */ public long scheduledExecutionTime() { synchronized (lock) { return (period < 0 ? nextExecutionTime + period : nextExecutionTime - period); } } }
