Deadlock detection in Java

Question

Long time ago, I saved a sentence from a Java reference book: \"Java has no mechanism to handle deadlock. it won\'t even know deadlock occurred.\" (Head First Java 2nd E

Answer 1

you have to modify the code a little bit in the Deadlock Class

   Deadlock() {
    Therad t = new Thread(this); // modified
    t.start();
    System.out.println(); //any instruction to delay
    a.methodA(b);
}

Also the above code will not always cause a dead lock, only some times it may happen.
