/**
 * 
 * Provides the implementation of the timer MBean.
 * The timer MBean sends out an alarm at a specified time 
 * that wakes up all the listeners registered to receive timer notifications.
 * <P>
 * 
 * This class manages a list of dated timer notifications.
 * A method allows users to add/remove as many notifications as required.
 * When a timer notification is emitted by the timer and becomes obsolete,
 * it is automatically removed from the list of timer notifications.
 * <BR>Additional timer notifications can be added into regularly repeating notifications.
 * <P>
 *
 * Note:
 * <OL>
 * <LI>All notifications before the time when the <CODE>addNotification</CODE> method is called 
 * are ignored, irrespective of the <CODE>sendPastNotifications</CODE> flag.
 * <LI>When sending timer notifications, the timer updates the notification sequence number
 * irrespective of the notification type.
 * <LI>The timer service relies on the system date of the host where the <CODE>Timer</CODE> class is loaded. 
 * Listeners may receive untimely notifications 
 * if their host has a different system date.
 * To avoid such problems, synchronize the system date of all host machines where timing is needed.
 * <LI>The default behavior for periodic notifications is <i>fixed-delay execution</i>, as
 *     specified in {@link java.util.Timer}. In order to use <i>fixed-rate execution</i>, use the
 *     overloaded {@link #addNotification(String, String, Object, Date, long, long, boolean)} method.
 * <LI>Notification listeners are potentially all executed in the same
 * thread.  Therefore, they should execute rapidly to avoid holding up
 * other listeners or perturbing the regularity of fixed-delay
 * executions.  See {@link NotificationBroadcasterSupport}.
 * </OL>
