At inexplicable times for inexpicable reasons my netbeans 5.0 will freeze the GUI. So this time I started it up so JConsole could attack to it, and discovered that 10 threads including the EDT were blocked on the ExclusiveMutex in javacore. I also could not figure out which thread held the lock the JMX messages returned a -1 on teh lock owner in all 10 threads. It could be the case of all 10 waiting on an object that will never get notified, some thread left the core witout calling notify on the lock object. This happens about once a week for me. Attaching a copy of all the stack thread traces in JConsole.
