This is the Excalibur Event package which includes event queues, asynchronous command processing, and the interfaces to support event based programming. Event is heavily influenced by Matt Welsh's work with the SEDA architecture. We forked the portion of his SandStorm server that had to do with event processing. From there we cleaned up the API and made it as generic as we could.
The Event package actually has five related sub packages inside of it. Event is the basic interfaces for the Queues, Sinks, Sources, etc. Command houses code for the CommandManager so that your code can safely process Commands (a type of event) in the background. MPool, short for Managed Pool, houses code for a pool implementation that manages its size asynchronously so you don't have to worry about it. Lastly, Util provides some basic utilities so that we can programatically determine the number of processors your hardware has.
