What library introduces new classes for concurrency problems in Java SE5?

  1. java.util

  2. java.util.concurrent

  3. java.io

  4. java.nio

The correct answer is: java.util.concurrent

The java.util.concurrent library was introduced in Java SE5 specifically to provide classes for concurrency problems. It contains a set of classes that help manage separate threads of execution that may have the potential to cause issues such as deadlocks and race conditions.

While it does include some classes for handling multiple threads, it was not
