Thread Signaling in Java

Java has a set of thread signaling features that enable one Java thread to coordinate its actions with another. These basic thread signaling features are provided via the Object class wait() , notify() and notifyAll() methods.

When implementing thread signaling in Java you need to be aware of the problem of missed signals and spurious wakeups. I cover both in this video too.
