Sounds to me a very ambigous question.
(1) As far as I know, there is no
release method related to Thread
(2) wait : This method is used when you want to put the 'running' thread into 'not running' state (in the wait pool)
(3) continue : Is a keyword in
Java, nothing to do with locks
(4) notifyall: Used to signal thread(s) from the waiting pool to move to 'ready to run' state.
