Why isn't Object.notify() a synchronized method? (original) (raw)

Hi all,

in the Javadoc of notify(), notifyAll() and wait(...) I read, that this methods should only be used with synchronisation on it's instance. So I'm wondering, why they don't have the synchronized modifier out of the box in Object class.

Also I think, the following note should be moved from wait(long,int) to wait(long): /The current thread must own this object's monitor. The thread releases ownership of this monitor and waits until either of the following two conditions has occurred:// /

Cheers,

Ulf
