wait and notify notifyall method are basically used are basically used in threads so why they are included in Object class and not in thread class

[Matthew Brown]

Threads synchronize on objects, and those methods are related to the object you're synchronizing on, not the thread that's doing the synchronizing.

Because wait() and notify() apply to locks and every object has a lock.

Also, everything in Java is "used in threads."
