    025 * <p>
    026 * A specialized {@link BackgroundInitializer} implementation that wraps a
    027 * {@code Callable} object.
    028 * </p>
    029 * <p>
    030 * An instance of this class is initialized with a {@code Callable} object when
    031 * it is constructed. The implementation of the {@link #initialize()} method
    032 * defined in the super class delegates to this {@code Callable} so that the
    033 * {@code Callable} is executed in the background thread.
    034 * </p>
    035 * <p>
    036 * The {@code java.util.concurrent.Callable} interface is a standard mechanism
    037 * of the JDK to define tasks to be executed by another thread. The {@code
    038 * CallableBackgroundInitializer} class allows combining this standard interface
    039 * with the background initializer API.
    040 * </p>
    041 * <p>
    042 * Usage of this class is very similar to the default usage pattern of the
    043 * {@link BackgroundInitializer} class: Just create an instance and provide the
    044 * {@code Callable} object to be executed, then call the initializer's
    045 * {@link #start()} method. This causes the {@code Callable} to be executed in
    046 * another thread. When the results of the {@code Callable} are needed the
    047 * initializer's {@link #get()} method can be called (which may block until
    048 * background execution is complete). The following code fragment shows a
    049 * typical usage example:
    050 * </p>
    051 *
    052 * <pre>
    053 * // a Callable that performs a complex computation
    054 * Callable&lt;Integer&gt; computationCallable = new MyComputationCallable();
    055 * // setup the background initializer
    056 * CallableBackgroundInitializer&lt;Integer&gt; initializer =
    057 *     new CallableBackgroundInitializer(computationCallable);
    058 * initializer.start();
    059 * // Now do some other things. Initialization runs in a parallel thread
    060 * ...
    061 * // Wait for the end of initialization and access the result
    062 * Integer result = initializer.get();
    063 * </pre>
    064 *
    065 *
    066 * @since 3.0
    067 * @param <T> the type of the object managed by this initializer class
