Re: How to use wait() and notifyAll() in simple container object

Looks like a mutable, synchronized Boolean. Might want to consider a
class name like SynchronizedBoolean. Might want to rename the
get()/set() methods, either to follow JavaBean conventions or to mimic
similar methods in java.lang.Boolean.

Why not
public class Container<Foo> {
private Foo contents;
public Container (Foo initialContents) {
contents = initialContents;
}
public synchronized Foo getContents () {
return contents;
}
public synchronized setContents (Foo newContents) {
contents = newContents;
}
}
Container<Foo> fooHolder = new Container<Foo>(new Boolean(false));
It's reusable for holding any object now. :)
