Clone the JBossMX javax.management.timer.Timer implementation, to a jboss package
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-3870
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3870
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: JMX
            Reporter: Dimitris Andreadis
         Assigned To: Dimitris Andreadis
             Fix For: JBossAS-5.0.0.CR1, JBossAS-4.2.0.CR1


There are indications that the jdk5 implementation of javax.management.timer.Timer uses  internally a single-threaded implementation for executing scheduled tasks, so scheduling of multiple tasks is affected when moving from jdk1.4 and the jboss implementation of Timer, to a jdk5 runtime.

The JBossMX Timer implementation in contrast uses a dynamically extensible thread pool to execute scheduled tasks. Since we don't control the jdk5 implementation, a simple solution is to clone the jboss timer into a new package, e.g. org.jboss.javax.management.timer.Timer, for those that want to stick with the jboss implementation.
