> Since the spec identifies several cases of asynchronous tasks which must be performed, the RI should have  a single, consistent set of interfaces to provide the executor services needed and the tasks to be performed.  In Java SE 5 and 6, java.util.concurrent does provide useful interfaces for dealing with tasks which are executed by a separate service.  It is recommended that the Executor interface be used as-is for those not requiring a timer (just execution in a separate thread of control), and perhaps the Delayed mix-in style interface for tasks requiring a timer or delay of execution.  Alternatively, another executor interface can be chosen from SE to provide methods which take both the task to perform and the time delay.
> In general, use of the java.util.concurrent interfaces, and even the implementations where possible, will reduce the amount of code in the RI and make better use of existing Java resources.
