Hi,

I've just read the book "Java Concurrency in Practice" and I'm thinging that it would be terribly usefull if IDEA could build an inspection that would check the concurrency annotations defined in the book.

This would be very usefull when writting concurrent application (it would make my life easier, every day).

There are only a couple of them: GuardedBy, Immutable,NotThreadSafe, ThreadSafe.

You can find the java doc for the annotions here:

You can find the source for the annotions here:

Thank you !

This is definitely a good idea. There is JSR 305 dedicated to this issue. Once such annotations are standardized (in Java 1.7?), we will support them in IDEA.

The JSR will likely take some time (a year at least, I'd guess).

In the meantime having support for the JCiP annotations would be:
-valuable in terms of feedback and ideas (both for the expert group and for a potential future JSR 305 implementation in IDEA)
-actually useful

For instance, unguarded access of a GuardedBy annotated variable could offer a "surround with lock acquisition/relase" QuickFix.
