Class Job

java.lang.Object
  foxtrot.Task
      foxtrot.Job

public abstract class Job
extends Task

A time-consuming task to be executed in the Worker Thread that does not throw checked exceptions.

Users must implement the run() method with the time-consuming code:

 Job task = new Job()
 {
     public Object run()
     {
        long sum = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i)
        {
           sum += i;
        }
        return new Integer(sum);
     }
 };
 

RuntimeExceptions or Errors thrown by the run() method will be rethrown automatically by Worker.post(Job job).
