See 'send' and 'send-off'. send-off in particular will start a new thread if there are not idle threads available in its pool. If that abstracts away details you'd rather have your hand on, you may find this tutorial useful: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/executors.html > So I assume you're expected to know > and use Java libraries for this.

Here are some classes I've heard mentioned or have used myself with Clojure: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/BlockingQueue.html http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/atomic/package-summary.html > As for other libraries, I've already located the documentation for the > String class at http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html. > It would also be helpful to know which File I/O libraries are most > relevant, and a couple short examples of how to use them.
