Interface Delayed
- All Superinterfaces:

- All Known Subinterfaces:
- RunnableScheduledFuture, ScheduledFuture
- public interface Delayed
- extends java.lang.Comparable
A mix-in style interface for marking objects that should be
acted upon after a given delay.
An implementation of this interface must define a
compareTo method that provides an ordering consistent with
its getDelay method.
