Package java.util.concurrent.locks

Interface Summary

Condition	Condition factors out the Object monitor methods (wait , notify and notifyAll ) into distinct objects to give the effect of having multiple wait-sets per object, by combining them with the use of arbitrary Lock implementations.
Lock	Lock implementations provide more extensive locking operations than can be obtained using synchronized methods and statements.
ReadWriteLock	A ReadWriteLock maintains a pair of associated locks , one for read-only operations and one for writing.

Class Summary

AbstractQueuedSynchronizer	Provides a framework for implementing blocking locks and related synchronizers (semaphores, events, etc) that rely on first-in-first-out (FIFO) wait queues.
LockSupport	Basic thread blocking primitives for creating locks and other synchronization classes.
ReentrantLock	A reentrant mutual exclusion Lock with the same basic behavior and semantics as the implicit monitor lock accessed using synchronized methods and statements, but with extended capabilities.
ReentrantReadWriteLock	An implementation of ReadWriteLock supporting similar semantics to ReentrantLock .
ReentrantReadWriteLock.ReadLock	The lock returned by method ReentrantReadWriteLock.readLock() .
ReentrantReadWriteLock.WriteLock	The lock returned by method ReentrantReadWriteLock.writeLock() .
