Description Jesse Glick 2001-10-08 11:40:14 UTC 
Please add some more detail to the org.openide.util.Mutex Javadoc, and also
write some openide unit tests, to describe more exactly what guarantees Mutex
makes about when tasks are run. For example: if you post a read request from
within a write mutex, is it guaranteed to be run before mutex.exitWriteRequest
returns? What order are tasks run in when posted from different threads, or is
it unspecified? Etc.

I guess Ales did most of the work. Javadoc is improved and seems to be
ok, a lot of tests is written...
