java Executor类的注释部分什么意思?

许多 Executor 实现都对调度任务的方式和时间强加了某种限制。以下执行程序使任务提交与第二个执行程序保持连续，这说明了一个复合执行程序。
 class SerialExecutor implements Executor {
     final Queue<Runnable> tasks = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Runnable>();
     final Executor executor;
     Runnable active;

     SerialExecutor(Executor executor) {
         this.executor = executor;
     }

     public synchronized void execute(final Runnable r) {
         tasks.offer(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                 try {
                     r.run();
                 } finally {
                     scheduleNext();
                 }
             }
         });
         if (active == null) {
             scheduleNext();
         }
     }

     protected synchronized void scheduleNext() {
         if ((active = tasks.poll()) != null) {
             executor.execute(active);
         }
     }
 }

没看明白, 这个在外面该如何使用呢? 构造参数Executor是干什么的, 怎么连续的提交任务?
