JDK 5.0 added major new support for developing concurrent applications, including JVM changes, new low-level synchronization utilities, and higher-level, thread-safe, high-performance concurrency classes such as thread pools, concurrent collections, semaphores, latches, and barriers. Learn how these new classes can help make your code faster, more scalable, more reliable, and easier to maintain.

Prerequisites

While this tutorial is aimed at a wide range of levels, it is assumed that readers have a basic understanding of threads, concurrency, and the concurrency primitives provided by the Java language, particularly the semantics and correct use of synchronization.
Beginning readers may wish to first consult the "Introduction to Java Threads" tutorial, or read the concurrency chapter of a general purpose introductory text on the Java language.
