Re: Multitasking in Java

Does anyone know exactly where someone could find the threading guarantees we have with the WPILIB library? Can we set motors from separate threads? Can we call I/O functions(both networking and storage) concurrently? Are the constructors for the PWM-like classes free from contention? Etc.

Some of the newer programmers on my team want to look into multithreading next year and I am wondering whether we need to mutex the world in order for it to work well.
