# Injectable, Configurable, Resilient and Monitorable ThreadPools in Java EE 7 -- Porcupine Is Available

The Apache 2.0 licensed Project Porcupine is based on JSR 236: Concurrency Utilities for Java EE and allows you to setup injectable thread pools on-the-fly. 


Each thread pool is created according to sensible conventions and produces an injectable statistics POJO. Not only the configuration, but also all major components are extensible without any additional configuration:



import com.airhacks.porcupine.execution.boundary.Dedicated;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import javax.inject.Inject;

public class MessagesService {

    @Inject
    @Dedicated
    ExecutorService light;

    @Inject
    @Dedicated
    ExecutorService heavy;
    //...
}



The installation is easy:


<dependency>
	<groupId>com.airhacks</groupId>
	<artifactId>porcupine</artifactId>
	<version>NEWEST_VERSION</version>
	<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

and the dependency small (16 kB).
