Round Robin with java multithreading

I have to create an application in java using threads, but I am new to multithread programing in java. The applicatoin will have many tasks to do, where each task shold be run by a thread. Then I will implement Round Robin algorithm also in java to schedule threads works.

I am not sure if it works properly but this is the code I have done until now (the application with 8 tasks). If it is Ok now I should implement the RR scheduling algorithm, how can I do it? Should it be implemented in a new file or in within main method? 

public class Application extends Thread {
    public class Task1 extends Thread {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            //task 1
        }
    }

    public class Task2 extends Thread {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            //task2
        }
    }

    public class Task3 extends Thread {
        public void run(){
            //task3
        }
    }

    public class Task4 extends Thread {
        public void run(){
            //task4
        }
    }

    public class Task5 extends Thread {
        public void run(){
            //task5
        }
    }

    public class Task6 extends Thread {
        public void run(){
            //task6
        }
    }

    public class Task7 extends Thread {
        public void run(){
            //task7
        }
    }

    public class Task8 extends Thread {
        public void run(){
            //task8
        }
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Application a=new Application();
        Task1 t1=a.new Task1();
        //etc
    }
}

Do you have to implement your own scheduling ? Can you instead use an Executor and let it look after the scheduling of your jobs? From the Javadoc:

An object that executes submitted Runnable tasks. This interface provides a way of decoupling task submission from the mechanics of how each task will be run, including details of thread use, scheduling, etc.
