Helper class for crating pools of objects. An example use looks like this:
public class MyPooledClass {
    private static final SynchronizedPool sPool =
            new SynchronizedPool(10);
    public static MyPooledClass obtain() {
        MyPooledClass instance = sPool.acquire();
        return (instance != null) ? instance : new MyPooledClass();
    }
    public void recycle() {
         // Clear state if needed.
         sPool.release(this);
    }
    . . .
}

Interface for managing a pool of objects.
Type parameters:
  • <T> – The pooled type.

Release an instance to the pool.
Params:
  • instance – The instance to release.
Throws:
Returns:Whether the instance was put in the pool.

Simple (non-synchronized) pool of objects.

Creates a new instance.
Params:
  • maxPoolSize – The max pool size.
  • lock – an optional custom object to synchronize on
Throws:
