How to do it...

Follow these steps to implement the example:

1. Create a class named MyWorkerTask and specify that it extends the ForkJoinTask class parameterized by the Void type:

        public abstract class MyWorkerTask extends ForkJoinTask<Void> {

2. Declare a private String attribute called name to store the name of the task:

        private String name;

3. Implement the constructor of the class to initialize its attribute:

        public MyWorkerTask(String name) {           this.name=name;         }

4. Implement the getRawResult() method. This is one of the abstract methods of the ForkJoinTask class. As the MyWorkerTask tasks won't return any results, this method must return null:

        @Override         public Void getRawResult() {           return null;         }

5. Implement the setRawResult() ...
