public abstract Class CompletableTask<T>

A CompletableFuture that implements Runnable to perform a one-shot task that eventually completes this CompletableFuture.

Subclasses override run() to implement the task.

Users of this class start the task execution via start().

Typical usage:

CompletableTask<T> task = new CompletableTask<>()
{
    @Override
    public void run()
    {
        try
        {
            // Perform some task.
            T result = performTask();

            // Eventually complete this CompletableFuture.
            complete(result);
        }
        catch (Throwable x)
        {
            completeExceptionally(x);
        }
    }
}

// Start the task and then process the
// result of the task when it is complete.
task.start()
    .whenComplete((result, failure) ->
    {
        if (failure == null)
        {
            // The task completed successfully.
        }
        else
        {
            // The task failed.
        }
    });
