ObjectPool
==========
This provides an ObjectPool, for providing for a safe, and fixed sized pool of objects. This is only recommended in systems were garbage collection is to be kept to a minimum, and the created objects are large.
- This is for cross-platform use, specifically - linux 32/64, mac 32/64, and windows 32/64. Java 6+
Usage:
```
/**
* Takes an object from the pool, Blocks until an item is available in the pool.
*/
public ObjectPoolHolder<T> take();
/**
* Takes an object from the pool, Blocks until an item is available in the pool.
* <p/>
* This method catches {@link InterruptedException} and discards it silently.
*/
T takeUninterruptibly() {
/**
* Return object to the pool, waking the threads that have blocked during take()
*/
void release(T object);
/**
* @return a new object instance created by the pool.
*/
T newInstance();
/**
* @return the number of currently pooled objects
*/
int size();
```
