Here are the outputs:

The pool starts with size of: 2
Thread [7] is about to check out resources of: 1
Thread [7] returns with pool size = 1
Thread [8] is about to check out resources of: 2
Thread [8] is waiting with pool size = 1
Thread [9] is about to check out resources of: 3
Thread [10] is about to check out resources of: 4
Thread [11] is about to check out resources of: 5
Thread [12] is about to check in resources of: 6
Thread [13] is about to check in resources of: 9
Thread [8] wakes up with pool size = 1
Thread [8] wakes up with pool size = 1
Thread [8] wakes up with pool size = 1
Thread [8] wakes up with pool size = 1
Thread [8] wakes up with pool size = 1
Thread [8] wakes up with pool size = 1
...


Observations:
  • t1-Thread[7] checks out resource immediately since there are enough (2) resources for what it is asking (1);
  • t2-Thread[8] ~ t5-Thread[11] have to wait until more resources are available;
  • once t2-Thread[8] is back after sleep of one second, it will loops forever because it withholds the monitor while sleeping and the check-in threads t6-Thread[12] and t7-Thread[13] have no chance to bring the resources into the pool.

    Observations:
  • t1-Thread[7] checks out resource immediately since there are enough (2) resources for what it is asking (1);
  • t2-Thread[8] ~ t5-Thread[11] have to wait until more resources are available;
  • after t6-Thread[12] checks in 6 resources, its notification gets all waiting threads: t2-Thread[8], t3-Thread[9] , t4-Thread[10] and t5-Thread[11] to wake up immediately. Among them, t2-Thread[8] and t3-Thread[9] return, but t4-Thread[10] and t5-Thread[11] have to continue waiting until available;
  • again, t7-Thread[13]'s check-in notifyAll() and gets all the restl waiting threads: t4-Thread[10] and t5-Thread[11] to wake up immediately and return;
  • all threads have the fair chance to proceed.
