Annotation Type MustBeLocked

@Retention(value=CLASS)
@Target(value=METHOD)
@Documented
public @interface MustBeLocked

Just to indicate that a method must be called inside a lock. When using read-write locks (class ReadWriteLock), please choose the lock type carefully. When using exclusive locks (class Lock) use the lock type WRITE. The constraint of this annotation is also fulfilled when a method is called inside the constructor of the owning class, as constructor-calls of a single object are not accessed by multiple threads in parallel.
