Task Scheduling API

PetarLib provides a task scheduler for running asynchronous tasks or delayed tasks with built-in exception handling and logging.

Overview​

TaskScheduler uses a thread pool to execute tasks asynchronously, catching and logging any exceptions thrown by tasks.

Usage​

Creating a Scheduler​

import com.petarmc.petarlib.task.TaskScheduler;

TaskScheduler scheduler = new TaskScheduler(4); // 4 threads

Running Tasks Asynchronously​

scheduler.runAsync(() -> {
    // Your async task here
    System.out.println("Running in background");
});

Running Delayed Tasks​

scheduler.runDelayed(() -> {
    System.out.println("This runs after 1000ms");
}, 1000); // delay in milliseconds

Shutdown​

scheduler.shutdown(); // shutdown with timeout

Features​

  • Asynchronous execution using a thread pool.
  • Delayed execution with millisecond precision.
  • Automatic exception catching and logging.
  • Graceful shutdown with timeout.
