Following a discussion in the Netz39 IRC channel I created a short Java Enterprise Loop for those in need.

package com.penguineering.seriousnonsense;

/*
 * Short usage instructions:
 *
 * 		final Runnable loopee = ... // Acquire some runnable instance
 * 		EnterpriseLoop.forRunnable(loopee).run();
 *
 * or put it in a thread:
 * 
 * 		new Thread(EnterpriseLoop.forRunnable(loopee)).start();
 *
 *
 * Whatever kills your design best.
 */

public class EnterpriseLoop implements Runnable {
	public static EnterpriseLoop forRunnable(final Runnable _loopee) throws NullPointerException {
		return new EnterpriseLoop(_loopee);
	}
	
	private final Runnable loopee;
	
	private EnterpriseLoop(final Runnable _loopee) throws NullPointerException {
		if (_loopee == null)
			throw new NullPointerException("Runnable _loopee must not be null!");
		
		this.loopee = _loopee;
	}
	
	public Runnable getLoopee() {
		return loopee;
	}
	
	@Override
	public void run() {
		while (true)
			try {
				loopee.run();
			} catch {Throwable t) {
				// ignore
			}
	}
}

To adhere to development standards usually found in situations leading to the need of an enterprise loop, I neither documented the code (except for a short usage instruction to save you from thinking about those lines you are going to copy) nor tested it.

I leave this to the public domain to successfully serve as a bad example.
