Synchronization in Java is done using the Monitor. The idea is that when multiple threads are accessing a shared resource like a data structure, then only one thread can manipulate the contents of the resource. The rest of the threads have to wait till the thread has finished manipulation. Monitors are implemented using the objects. To enter an objects monitor, call a method that has been modified by the synchronized keyword.
