8.5 Summary
In this chapter, we have examined how threads interact with
Java's collection classes. We've
seen the synchronization requirements imposed by different classes
and how to handle those requirements effectively.
We've also examined how these classes can be used
for the common design pattern known as the producer/consumer pattern.
8.5.1 Example Classes
Here are the class names and Ant targets for the examples in this
chapter. The online examples also include test code for the
producer/consumer pattern.

javathreads.examples.ch08.example6.FibonacciTest
nConsumers

In the Ant script, the number of consumer threads is defined by this
property:
<property name="nConsumers" value="1"/>
