  /**
   * <p>
   * A specialized {@link BackgroundInitializer} implementation that wraps a
   * {@code Callable} object.
   * </p>
   * <p>
   * An instance of this class is initialized with a {@code Callable} object when
   * it is constructed. The implementation of the {@link #initialize()} method
   * defined in the super class delegates to this {@code Callable} so that the
   * {@code Callable} is executed in the background thread.
   * </p>
   * <p>
   * The {@code java.util.concurrent.Callable} interface is a standard mechanism
   * of the JDK to define tasks to be executed by another thread. The {@code
   * CallableBackgroundInitializer} class allows combining this standard interface
   * with the background initializer API.
   * </p>
   * <p>
   * Usage of this class is very similar to the default usage pattern of the
   * {@link BackgroundInitializer} class: Just create an instance and provide the
   * {@code Callable} object to be executed, then call the initializer's
   * {@link #start()} method. This causes the {@code Callable} to be executed in
   * another thread. When the results of the {@code Callable} are needed the
   * initializer's {@link #get()} method can be called (which may block until
   * background execution is complete). The following code fragment shows a
   * typical usage example:
   *
   * <pre>
   * // a Callable that performs a complex computation
   * Callable&lt;Integer&gt; computationCallable = new MyComputationCallable();
   * // setup the background initializer
   * CallableBackgroundInitializer&lt;Integer&gt; initializer =
   *     new CallableBackgroundInitializer(computationCallable);
   * initializer.start();
   * // Now do some other things. Initialization runs in a parallel thread
   * ...
   * // Wait for the end of initialization and access the result
   * Integer result = initializer.get();
   * </pre>
   *
   * </p>
