Java Executors: how can I set task priority?

by

Currently the only concrete implementations of the Executor interface are the ThreadPoolExecutor and the ScheduledThreadpoolExecutor

Instead of using the utility / factory class Executors, you should create an instance using a constructor.

You can pass a BlockingQueue to the constructors of the ThreadPoolExecutor.

One of the implementations of the BlockingQueue, the PriorityBlockingQueue lets you pass a Comparator to a constructor, that way enabling you to decide the order of execution.
