+ * Defines the thread-safe initialization of objects.
  * <p>
- * The idea behind this interface is to provide access to an object in a
- * thread-safe manner. A {@link ConcurrentInitializer} can be passed to multiple
- * threads which can all access the object produced by the initializer. Through
- * the {@link #get()} method the object can be queried.

  * </p>
  * <p>
- * Concrete implementations of this interface will use different strategies for
- * the creation of the managed object, e.g. lazy initialization or
- * initialization in a background thread. This is completely transparent to
- * client code, so it is possible to change the initialization strategy without
