starting thread inside synchronized block

[John Davison]

If I start a new thread inside a synchronized (object) block, that thread
doesn't inherit the monitor on object, does it?

Thanks!

You misunderstand: Monitors aren't tied to threads but to objects.
Threads "take" and "release" the sync-object's monitor when they enter
or exit synchronized code. So the Thread you create will not be
associated with a monitor until it enters a synchronized block while
running, the two threads are not related. (Except through a
ThreadGroup if you want them to be.)
