Save as Main.java, compile with javac Main.java, and run java Main. Uses the Java 21 standard library. Java 21 ExecutorService supports try-with-resources to shut down after submitted work.
Tested on Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS · · openjdk 21.0.12.1 2026-08-18 · openjdk-21-jdk-headless 21.0.12.1+1-1~24.04.4
Test inputs, results and environment
The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Unprivileged snippet process, external networking disabled, read-only root filesystem, and a fresh temporary working directory. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.
