  public static void main(String[] args) {
    PrintTask task1 = new PrintTask("thread1");
    PrintTask task2 = new PrintTask("thread2");

    // start threads and place in runnable state
    threadExecutor.execute(task1); // start task1
    threadExecutor.execute(task2); // start task2

      Thread.sleep(sleepTime); // put thread to sleep
    } catch (InterruptedException exception) {
      exception.printStackTrace();
    }
    System.out.printf("%s done sleeping\n", threadName);
  }
}
Starting threads
thread1 going to sleep for 1000 milliseconds.
thread3 going to sleep for 1000 milliseconds.
thread2 going to sleep for 1000 milliseconds.
Threads started, main ends

thread1 done sleeping
thread3 done sleeping
thread2 done sleeping
