public interface Task

Task is an interface used to implement light-weight tasks for the Xindice interval-based scheduler. Tasks are run synchronously within the scheduler, so runTask should exit as soon as possible in order to return control to the scheduler. Heavy-weight tasks should be implemented as Runnable and be spawned as a new Thread from the light-weight task.
