"This package is the backport of java.util.concurrent API, introduced in Java 5.0, to Java 1.4. The backport is based on public-domain sources from the JSR 166 CVS repository, and the dl.util.concurrent package. The backport is nearly complete; unsupported functionality is limited mostly to the following cases: 1) things that require explicit JVM support, 2) some non-essential functions described in the original javadoc as "designed primarily for use in monitoring in system state, not for synchronization control", 3) functionality which emulation would affect performance, or 4) functionality that would require development of substantial amount of new code.

The purpose of this library is to enable gradual transition from Java 1.4 to 5.0: the library allows to develop concurrent applications for Java 1.4 that should work with Java 5.0 simply by changing package names."

It also happens to be a dependency of games-strategy/triplea-0.6.0.
