/**
 * 

* A Worker is an object which performs some work in one or more background * threads, and whose state is observable and available to JavaFX applications * and is usable from the main JavaFX Application thread. This interface is * primarily implemented by both {@link Task} and {@link Service}, providing * a common API among both classes which makes it easier for libraries and * frameworks to provide workers which work well when developing user interfaces. *

*

* A Worker may or may not be reusable depending on the implementation. A * {@link Task}, for example, is not reusable while a {@link Service} is. *

*

* A Worker has a well defined life cycle. Every Worker begins in the * {@link State#READY} state. When the Worker has been scheduled for work * (for example, when a Service's {@link javafx.concurrent.Service#start()} * method is called), it is transitioned to {@link State#SCHEDULED}. Even * Workers which are not technically scheduled, but started immediately * (such as with {@link javafx.concurrent.Task#run()}) will transition through * the {@link State#SCHEDULED} on its way to the {@link State#RUNNING} state. *

*

* When the Worker is actually performing its work, the state will have been * transitioned to {@link State#RUNNING}. If the Worker completes normally, * it will end in the {@link State#SUCCEEDED} state, and the result of the * Worker will be set as the value property. If however an Exception * occurs during the execution of the Worker, then the state will be set to * {@link State#FAILED} and the exception property will be set * to the Exception which occurred. *

*

* At any time prior to the conclusion of the Worker (that is, if the state * is not already {@link State#SUCCEEDED} or {@link State#FAILED}) the developer * may invoke the {@link javafx.concurrent.Worker#cancel()} method. If called, the * Worker will cease execution (if possible, including use of Thread.interrupt) * and the state changed to {@link State#CANCELLED}. *

*

* The only valid beginning state for a Worker is {@link State#READY}, and the * valid ending states are {@link State#CANCELLED}, {@link State#SUCCEEDED}, * and {@link State#FAILED}. The running property is set to * true when the state is either {@link State#SCHEDULED} or {@link State#RUNNING}. *

*

* The Worker's progress can be monitored via three different properties, * totalWork, workDone, and progress. * These properties are set by the actual implementation of the Worker * interface, but can be observed by anybody. The workDone is * a number between -1 (meaning indeterminate progress) and * totalWork, inclusive. When workDone == totalWork * the progress will be 100% (or 1). totalWork * will be a number between -1 and Long.MAX_VALUE, inclusive. The progress * will be either -1 (meaning indeterminate), or a value between 0 and 1, inclusive, * representing 0% through 100%. *

*

* A Worker which is in the {@link State#READY} or {@link State#SCHEDULED} states * will always have workDone and progress set to -1. * A Worker which is in the {@link State#SUCCEEDED} state will always have * workDone == totalWork and progress == 1. In any * other state, the values for these properties may be any value in their * respective valid ranges. *

* @since JavaFX 2.0 */ public interface Worker { /** *

* The state of a Worker. The state transitions in a Worker are very well defined. * All Workers begin in the READY state. In some circumstances, a Worker might * be scheduled for execution before it is actually executed. In such cases, * it is sometimes useful to know when the Worker has been SCHEDULED separately * from when it is RUNNING. However even in cases where the Worker is executed * immediately, the Worker will temporarily enter the SCHEDULED state before * entering the RUNNING state. That is, the transition is always from * READY to SCHEDULED to RUNNING (unless of course the Worker in cancelled). *

*

* A Worker which runs but is never cancelled can only end up in one of two * states, either SUCCEEDED or FAILED. It only enters FAILED if an exception * was thrown during the execution of the Worker. A Worker may be cancelled when * READY, SCHEDULED, or RUNNING, in which case the final status will be CANCELLED. * When a Worker is cancelled in one of these circumstances it will transition * immediately to the CANCELLED state. *

*

* A reusable Worker will transition from CANCELLED, SUCCEEDED or FAILED back to * READY. From that point the normal state transitions are again followed. *
