/**
* A facility for threads to schedule tasks for future execution in a
* background thread. Tasks may be scheduled for one-time execution, or for
* repeated execution at regular intervals.
*
* <p>Corresponding to each <tt>Timer</tt> object is a single background
* thread that is used to execute all of the timer's tasks, sequentially.
* Timer tasks should complete quickly. If a timer task takes excessive time
* to complete, it "hogs" the timer's task execution thread. This can, in
* turn, delay the execution of subsequent tasks, which may "bunch up" and
* execute in rapid succession when (and if) the offending task finally
* completes.
*
* <p>After the last live reference to a <tt>Timer</tt> object goes away
* <i>and</i> all outstanding tasks have completed execution, the timer's task
* execution thread terminates gracefully (and becomes subject to garbage
* collection). However, this can take arbitrarily long to occur. By
* default, the task execution thread does not run as a <i>daemon thread</i>,
* so it is capable of keeping an application from terminating. If a caller
* wants to terminate a timer's task execution thread rapidly, the caller
* should invoke the timer's <tt>cancel</tt> method.
*
* <p>If the timer's task execution thread terminates unexpectedly, for
* example, because its <tt>stop</tt> method is invoked, any further
* attempt to schedule a task on the timer will result in an
* <tt>IllegalStateException</tt>, as if the timer's <tt>cancel</tt>
* method had been invoked.
*
* <p>This class is thread-safe: multiple threads can share a single
* <tt>Timer</tt> object without the need for external synchronization.
*
* <p>This class does <i>not</i> offer real-time guarantees: it schedules
* tasks using the <tt>Object.wait(long)</tt> method.
*
* <p>Java 5.0 introduced the {@code java.util.concurrent} package and
* one of the concurrency utilities therein is the {@link
* java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor
* ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor} which is a thread pool for repeatedly
* executing tasks at a given rate or delay. It is effectively a more
* versatile replacement for the {@code Timer}/{@code TimerTask}
* combination, as it allows multiple service threads, accepts various
* time units, and doesn't require subclassing {@code TimerTask} (just
* implement {@code Runnable}). Configuring {@code
* ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor} with one thread makes it equivalent to
* {@code Timer}.
*
* <p>Implementation note: This class scales to large numbers of concurrently
* scheduled tasks (thousands should present no problem). Internally,
* it uses a binary heap to represent its task queue, so the cost to schedule
* a task is O(log n), where n is the number of concurrently scheduled tasks.
*
* <p>Implementation note: All constructors start a timer thread.
