Can't Hardly Wait

I ran into a wait leak issue recently and it made me wonder if there was anything I could to do prevent this issue from happening again. I found this article from a few years back written by Java performance gurus Jack Shirazi and Kirk Pepperdine. The article mainly discusses tactics for detecting wait leaks. When it comes to preventing them from happening in the first place, there's no silver bullet. Something that I thought of that wasn't mention in the article is preferring the timed wait() method instead of the no-arg version in order to prevent wait leaks. Obviously, it's not always possible to specify a wait timeout, but in situations where it is possible, it can help an application recover gracefully from a wait leak.
