/**
 * A specialized {@link BackgroundInitializer} implementation that wraps a
 * {@link Callable} object.
 *
 * <p>
 * An instance of this class is initialized with a {@link Callable} object when
 * it is constructed. The implementation of the {@link #initialize()} method
 * defined in the super class delegates to this {@link Callable} so that the
 * {@link Callable} is executed in the background thread.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The {@code java.util.concurrent.Callable} interface is a standard mechanism
 * of the JDK to define tasks to be executed by another thread. The {@code
 * CallableBackgroundInitializer} class allows combining this standard interface
 * with the background initializer API.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Usage of this class is very similar to the default usage pattern of the
 * {@link BackgroundInitializer} class: Just create an instance and provide the
 * {@link Callable} object to be executed, then call the initializer's
 * {@link #start()} method. This causes the {@link Callable} to be executed in
 * another thread. When the results of the {@link Callable} are needed the
 * initializer's {@link #get()} method can be called (which may block until
 * background execution is complete). The following code fragment shows a
 * typical usage example:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * // a Callable that performs a complex computation
 * Callable&lt;Integer&gt; computationCallable = new MyComputationCallable();
 * // setup the background initializer
 * CallableBackgroundInitializer&lt;Integer&gt; initializer =
 *     new CallableBackgroundInitializer(computationCallable);
 * initializer.start();
 * // Now do some other things. Initialization runs in a parallel thread
 * ...
 * // Wait for the end of initialization and access the result
 * Integer result = initializer.get();
 * </pre>
 *
 * @since 3.0
 * @param <T> the type of the object managed by this initializer class
