What do you mean change the value of this map from another class?

You have a getMap method so you can use that. Since it is static you setMap should synchronize:

public void setMap(Map map) { Status.map = Collections.synchronizedMap(map); }

You must make sure you only use the reference returned by getMap to manipulate the map.
