wait, notify, notifyAll methods in Object (Java): why do you think methods are defined in this particular class?

Question

Java

wait, notify, notifyAll are more suitable for threads - i.e., for example, the Thread class.

Answer 1

In order not to write extra code in simple cases. No one forbids using the Lock and Condition interfaces (which have analogues - await, signal, signalAll), which allow more flexible use of synchronization, for example, to implement several different locks.
