Talk:Java concurrency package

overall comments

This is a great beginning. The article as it stands today makes some excellent points. Some of the work which might still be done is detailed in the following subsections (to be added shortly):Pat Palmer 01:43, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

what features are in Java 5.0 vs. Java 6.0

My understanding is that Java 6.0 introduced some new data synchronization constructs into the language. This article would benefit from stating clearly what came with Java 5.0, and then what was added in Java 6.0. The release date for Java 5.0 does occur later in the article, and this should (IMO) be moved to the article introduction to provide a context for this article.Pat Palmer 01:43, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Definitions all done by quotes

Directly quoting another author for every definition of a term seems like overkill. Definitions should generally be paraphrased into one's own words. The only reason for placing a reference on the definition of a widely-known term is if the person or source being cited is being given credit for inventing the concept represented by the term. These "definition quotes" all need to be transformed. The references can be kept by placing a pointer to the reference on the Bibiography or External Links tabs.Pat Palmer 01:50, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

History and opinion

The first paragraph of the history section starts with a statement about what was "historically" the case. People do not always agree on matters such as this, so it's probably important (in addition to providing the reference where the statement came from), to add to the text words such as "according to Deitel et al." or some such.Pat Palmer 02:00, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
