Executors.submit

Submits a value-returning task for execution and returns a Future representing the pending results of the task. The Future's {@code get} method will return the task's result upon successful completion.

<p> If you would like to immediately block waiting for a task, you can use constructions of the form {@code result = exec.submit(aCallable).get();}

<p>Note: The {@link Executors} class includes a set of methods that can convert some other common closure-like objects, for example, {@link java.security.PrivilegedAction} to {@link Callable} form so they can be submitted.

@param task the task to submit @param (T) the type of the task's result @return a Future representing pending completion of the task @throws RejectedExecutionException if the task cannot be scheduled for execution @throws NullPointerException if the task is null
