It lets you abbreviate class names, but not get rid of them altogether. That's just the way it works, you'll get used to it. It's really a lot safer this ... 2013-02-15, 2224👍, 0💬

Whats the difference between notify() and notifyAll()?
Whats the difference between notify() and notifyAll()? notify() is used to unblock one waiting thread; notifyAll() is used to unblock all of them.

I made my class Cloneable but I still get 'Can't access protected method clone. Why?
I made my class Cloneable but I still get 'Can't access protected method clone. Why? Yeah, some of the Java books, in particular "The Java Programming Language", imply that all you have to do in order to have your class support clone() is implement the Cloneable interface. Not so. Perhaps that was t... 2013-02-07, 2278👍, 0💬
