Interface ToolkitLock


  • public interface ToolkitLock
    Marker for a singleton global recursive blocking lock implementation, optionally locking a native windowing toolkit as well.

    Toolkit locks are created solely via NativeWindowFactory.

    One use case is the AWT locking on X11, see NativeWindowFactory#getDefaultToolkitLock(String, long).

      • lock

        void lock()
        Blocking until the lock is acquired by this Thread or a timeout is reached.

        Timeout is implementation specific, if used at all.

        Throws:
        RuntimeException - in case of a timeout
      • unlock

        void unlock()
        Release the lock.
        Throws:
        RuntimeException - in case the lock is not acquired by this thread.
      • dispose

        void dispose()
        Dispose this instance.

        Shall be called when instance is no more required.

        This allows implementations sharing a lock via resources to decrease the reference counter.
