I was thinking primarily of:
The Java Language Specification

developments in the Java world)
And:
The Java Virtual Machine Specification
Second Edition
(with the same caveat). Actually, as I remember it, the JVM spec doesn't have
a lot to say about synchronisation issues, but it's part of what I mean when I
talk about "the spec" anyway.
Both are [I assume, still] available free on the Web.
The JLS spec is the more relevant, and its link was posted about 11 hours
before your post.
The basics of Java will be achieved after having studied the tutorials, the
JLS, the book /Effective Java/ by Joshua Bloch for general Java programming
and /Java Concurrency in Practice/ by Brian Goetz, et al., for concurrency
mastery. Jan should study those sources, and definitely must own those two
latter books. My copies are well thumbed and coffee stained, and getting more
so all the time.
