/**
*
* A specialized {@link BackgroundInitializer} implementation that wraps a
* {@code Callable} object.
*
*
* An instance of this class is initialized with a {@code Callable} object when
* it is constructed. The implementation of the {@link #initialize()} method
* defined in the super class delegates to this {@code Callable} so that the
* {@code Callable} is executed in the background thread.
*
*
* The {@code java.util.concurrent.Callable} interface is a standard mechanism
* of the JDK to define tasks to be executed by another thread. The {@code
* CallableBackgroundInitializer} class allows combining this standard interface
* with the background initializer API.
*
*
* Usage of this class is very similar to the default usage pattern of the
* {@link BackgroundInitializer} class: Just create an instance and provide the
* {@code Callable} object to be executed, then call the initializer's
* {@link #start()} method. This causes the {@code Callable} to be executed in
* another thread. When the results of the {@code Callable} are needed the
* initializer's {@link #get()} method can be called (which may block until
* background execution is complete). The following code fragment shows a
* typical usage example:
*
*
* // a Callable that performs a complex computation
* Callable<Integer> computationCallable = new MyComputationCallable();
* // setup the background initializer
* CallableBackgroundInitializer<Integer> initializer =
* new CallableBackgroundInitializer(computationCallable);
* initializer.start();
* // Now do some other things. Initialization runs in a parallel thread
* ...
* // Wait for the end of initialization and access the result
* Integer result = initializer.get();
*
*

* @since 3.0

* @param the type of the object managed by this initializer class
