Andrew McCulloch, Carlin Rogers (Oracle )

Making with Eclipse · Standard

Eclipse provides a robust framework for scheduling asynchronous tasks and additional APIs for scheduling and acquiring rules and locks. This talk will cover best practices learned the hard way, as well as ways to avoid deadlocks and other gotchas like the effects of the new Job.yieldRule API. These rules of thumb were discovered while writing and maintaining a feature that makes extensive use of the provided Eclipse and Java concurrency APIs in order to achieve a high level of concurrency while launching numerous, interdependent background tasks.
