Hi Frank,
probabely this hint is simply shi* but
I suggest to have a look on Dough Leas concurrent library at :

http://g.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/concurrent/intro.html

  The package mainly consists of implementations of a few interfaces:

     * Sync -- locks, conditions
     * Channel -- queues, buffers
     * Barrier -- multi-party synchronization
     * SynchronizedVariable -- atomic ints, refs etc
      * Executor -- replacements for direct use of Thread

wait() is AFAIK implemented
try
    {
      while (true)
        lock.wait();
    }
  catch (InterruptedException e)
    {
    }

HTH and Sorry in case that I miss something. ;-)
