Code Correctness: Call to notify()

It is ambiguous which thread will wake up when notify() is called.

There is no way to specify which thread will be awakened by calls to notify().

Example 1: In the following code, notifyJob() calls notify().

public synchronized notifyJob() {
flag = true;
notify();
}
...
public synchronized waitForSomething() {
while(!flag) {
    try {
        wait();
    }
    catch (InterruptedException e)
    {
        ...
    }
}
...
}

In this case, the developer intends to wake up the thread that calls wait(), but it is possible that notify() will notify a different thread than the intended one.
