Hi right now the Loom prototype doesn't play well with synchronized and the recommended approach is to use ReentrantLock instead. A quick grep over Ant's codebase turns up more than 500 hits for synchronized - many of which in method declarations. So updating it will be a bigger task, in particular if we wanted to take the time to think through the reasons for synchronization and whether splitting read/write locks may be useful.
Do you feel we should do this before the next release or should we defer it? Another option might be to mechanically replace synchronized with reentrantlock now and do the "read/write lock separation would be good" assessment later.
