Java Concurrency In Practice, by Brian Goetz, should be that book. It's
excellent - see the review here: http://www.techbookreport.com/tbr0261.html

Of which tools do you think?

Even if my threads will not access the same objects?

wkr Thomas

Only so much. Show me the tool that gives the right answer in the
following rather simple case:

public class SomeClass {
    private int someValue;
    private int anotherValue;

    public synchronized void setSomeValue(int v) {
        someValue = v;
    }

    public synchronized void setAnotherValue(int v) {
        anotherValue = v;
    }

    public void setValues(int a, int b) {
        setSomeValue(a);
        setAnotherValue(b);
    }

    ...
    ...
    ...
}

Question: Is it ok if multiple threads use setValues() concurrently?

(a) If your tool says no, I will argue it might be safe.

(b) If your tool says yes, I will argue it might be unsafe.

(c) If your tool says "I don't know, it depends. You need to check". I
will say thank you very much, I knew that before.
