I think Rémi Forax was looking tooling too, I think to replace monitors 
with j.u.c. locks and probably Condition objects for using monitor 
wait/notify. You don't of course need to change all usage of monitors, 
it should only be the places where do you are doing blocking operations 
while holding a monitor. If you run with -Djdk.tracePinnedThreads=full 
(or "short") then it may help you identify the places where this arises.
