Lightweight threads for the JVM

Quasar: lightweight threads and actors for the JVM.

NOTE: This is alpha software

Getting started

In Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>co.paralleluniverse</groupId>
    <artifactId>quasar</artifactId>
    <version>0.1.1</version>
</dependency>

Or, build from sources by running:

./gradlew

Usage

Currently, there isn’t much in the way of documentation (coming soon!). In the meantime, you can study the examples here.

You can also read the introductory blog post.

When running code that uses Quasar, the instrumentation agent must be run by adding this to the java command line:

-javaagent:path-to-quasar-jar.jar
