public interface EventExecutor
extends EventExecutorGroup, ScheduledExecutorService

The EventExecutor is a special ScheduledExecutorService which comes with some handy methods to see if a Thread is executed in a event loop. Beside this it also extends the EventExecutorGroup to allow a generic way to access methods.
