Parallelism in Java

I am trying to move our team into a team that doesn't use the labview crutch anymore, and because i know OOP in java, it should be easy to mentor the younger teammates. I am recoding the robot from this year and it has a parallel periodic task. Do i create a new class and start a run method which would be created in the robotInit, or do i do something else.

On a side note, why does Netbeans 6.8 not have the FRC logo in the toolbar, while 6.7 does?

Re: Parallelism in Java

Create a class that implements interface Runnable, like this:

Code:

public class MyTask implements Runnable {

    public void run () {

        // Do stuff in here

    }

}

Then, in the main robot class, create a thread:

Code:

public Thread myThread = new Thread(new MyTask());

Start the thread in robotInit():

Code:

myThread.start(); // Will call MyTask.run() in a separate task

I think this is what you were thinking of already, no?

Re: Parallelism in Java

You should also look at the documentation for a TimerTask in the JavaDocs.

Netbeans 6.8 show the FRC logo in 6.8 also. You probably need to reinstall the FRC modules after upgrading.

Re: Parallelism in Java

Yes, that is what i was initially thinking, minus the "implements Runable" part. Thank you.

As for the netbeans 6.8 not showing the FRC logo, it says that there is no jar file found. Is that jar file found in something else besides the 5 primary modules, and could manually installing these modules one at a time create an issue with this?
