Thread.join() equivalent in executor

I have a newbie question. I have this code:

public class Main 
{

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException 
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        IntHolder aHolder=new IntHolder();
        aHolder.Number=0;

        IncrementorThread A= new IncrementorThread(1, aHolder);
        IncrementorThread B= new IncrementorThread(2, aHolder);
        IncrementorThread C= new IncrementorThread(3, aHolder);

        A.start();
        B.start();
        C.start();

        A.join();
        B.join();
        C.join();
        System.out.println("All threads completed...");

    }

}

Which will wait for all threads to complete. If I use Executors like this:

public class Main 
{

    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        IntHolder aHolder=new IntHolder();
        aHolder.number=0;

        IncrementalRunable A= new IncrementalRunable(1, aHolder);
        IncrementalRunable B= new IncrementalRunable(2, aHolder);
        IncrementalRunable C= new IncrementalRunable(3, aHolder);

        ExecutorService exec = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(3);
        exec.execute(A);
        exec.execute(B);
        exec.execute(C);
        //Don't know what to do here

        System.out.println("All threads completed...");
    }
}

How can I suspend the main thread to wait for all the threads in the executor to finish, i.e the "All threads completed..." should be printed after the all the threads have done their work?

We can use below code to join the thread.

 executor.execute(new YouThread());

    try{     
         executor.shutdown();
         while (!executor.awaitTermination(24L, TimeUnit.HOURS)) {
             System.out.println("Not yet. Still waiting for termination");
         }                
    }catch(InterruptedException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Try working with thread pool this way.

executor.shutdown();
executor.awaitTermination(MAX_PRIORITY, TimeUnit.HOURS);
