Chapter Summary
In this chapter, we looked at several techniques for working with time-dependent processes. Managing garbage collection and thread synchronization is important in real-time systems, and Java 5 added many new features such as the CyclicBarrier to the threading system. We also explored speech, music, and sound APIs. Using sound effectively can make your applications much more engaging and can also be useful in providing accessibility to the visually impaired. In the next chapter, we will discuss miscellaneous open-source projects and provide ideas for integrating code from the rest of the book.
