/**
* An {@link ExecutorService} that can schedule commands to run after a given
* delay, or to execute periodically.
*
* The {@code schedule} methods create tasks with various delays
* and return a task object that can be used to cancel or check
* execution. The {@code scheduleAtFixedRate} and
* {@code scheduleWithFixedDelay} methods create and execute tasks
* that run periodically until cancelled.
*
*
Commands submitted using the {@link Executor#execute(Runnable)}
* and {@link ExecutorService} {@code submit} methods are scheduled
* with a requested delay of zero. Zero and negative delays (but not
* periods) are also allowed in {@code schedule} methods, and are
* treated as requests for immediate execution.
*
*
All {@code schedule} methods accept relative delays and
* periods as arguments, not absolute times or dates. It is a simple
* matter to transform an absolute time represented as a {@link
* java.util.Date} to the required form. For example, to schedule at
* a certain future {@code date}, you can use: {@code schedule(task,
* date.getTime() - System.currentTimeMillis(),
* TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)}. Beware however that expiration of a
* relative delay need not coincide with the current {@code Date} at
* which the task is enabled due to network time synchronization
* protocols, clock drift, or other factors.
*
*
The {@link Executors} class provides convenient factory methods for
* the ScheduledExecutorService implementations provided in this package.
*
*
Usage Example
*
* Here is a class with a method that sets up a ScheduledExecutorService
* to beep every ten seconds for an hour:
*
* {@code
* import static java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.*;
* class BeeperControl {
* private final ScheduledExecutorService scheduler =
* Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
*
* public void beepForAnHour() {
* Runnable beeper = () -> System.out.println("beep");
* ScheduledFuture beeperHandle =
* scheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(beeper, 10, 10, SECONDS);
* Runnable canceller = () -> beeperHandle.cancel(false);
* scheduler.schedule(canceller, 1, HOURS);
* }
* }}
*
* @since 1.5
