Version:

This is a Timer object that is based on a Thread. This template can be used to manage the lifetime of the thread correctly. A static TimerThread should be labeled as a daemon thread using the parameter template. This is very similar to how the Executor templates work.

Also, like Executors, static TimerThreads do no need to be joined while a non-static or local TimerThread should be joined.
