You almost certainly want to use the java.util.concurrent package for  
the building blocks of your concurrent application, including  
concurrent queues.

Specifically you may want to look at ConcurrentLinkedQueue or  
LinkedBlockingQueue. I would test with both to see which performs  
better in your application.

If you plan to continue writing concurrent Java code, you may want to  
check out _Java_Concurrency_in_Practice_ by Brian Goetz et al.
