Utility of Future.cancel(boolean) method

I was simply exploring the java.util.concurrent package.

I learnt that the class 'Future' has a method boolean cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfRunning)

Please find attached the test code I wrote :

package com.java.util.concurrent;

import java.util.concurrent.Callable;
import java.util.concurrent.FutureTask;
import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledFuture;
import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor;

public class FutureTester {

/**
 * @param args
 * @throws InterruptedException
 */
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    int poolCnt = 1;
    Callable<NumberPrinter> numberPrinter = null;
    ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor schPool = new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(
            poolCnt);
    ScheduledFuture<NumberPrinter>[] numPrinterFutures = new ScheduledFuture[poolCnt];
    FutureTask<NumberPrinter>[] futureTask = new FutureTask[poolCnt];

    for (int i = 0; i < poolCnt; i++) {
        numberPrinter = new NumberPrinter();
        futureTask[i] = new FutureTask<NumberPrinter>(numberPrinter);

        /*
         * numPrinterFutures[i] = (ScheduledFuture<NumberPrinter>) schPool
         * .schedule(futureTask[i], 0, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
         */
        numPrinterFutures[i] = (ScheduledFuture<NumberPrinter>) schPool
                .submit(futureTask[i]);
    }

    //Thread.sleep(30);

    if (numPrinterFutures.length > 0) {

        System.out.println("Task completed ? "
                + numPrinterFutures[0].isDone());

        System.out.println("Task cancelled ? "
                + numPrinterFutures[0].cancel(true));

        System.out.println("Is task cancelled ? "
                + numPrinterFutures[0].isCancelled());
    }
}

}

class NumberPrinter implements Callable<NumberPrinter> {

private int counter = 10;

@Override
public NumberPrinter call() throws Except
