List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("a");
...
list.add("z");

synchronized(list) {
    Iterator<String> i = list.iterator();
    while(i.hasNext()) {
        ...
    }
}

和

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("a");
...
list.add("z");

List<String> synchronizedList = Collections.synchronizedList(list);

synchronized(synchronizedList) {
    Iterator<String> i = synchronizedList.iterator();
    while(i.hasNext()) {
        ...
    }
}

具体来说,当同步列表提供对列表的线程安全访问时,我不清楚为什么在第二个实例中需要同步.
