Looking 4 framework to smanage multiple processes with runtime.exec

[joe brooklyn]

Hi Masters of Java!

I am writing an application which uses a binary to encode much video-files.
I use runtime.exec to start the encoder.exe (the program runs on a windows machine) - now i want to run n encoder.exe instances at the same time (parallel - its a multi processor machine) to speed up the encoding.
Does anyone know a framework / or TaskQueue implementation that could be useful for this scenario?
Thanks in advance ...

The Doug Lea libraries for thread management and synchronization have been migrated into the standard Java libraries. I'd start with them.
