Remove the synchronization on JChannel.class in JChannel.init ------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-1887 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1887 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Task Affects Versions: 3.5.1 Reporter: Dan Berindei Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 3.5.2, 3.6 {{JChannel.init(ProtocolCtackConfigurator)}} has a {{synchronized(Channel.class)}} block that doesn't seem necessary, as JChannel instances do not normally share resources. This can cause serious delays in the Infinispan test suite, because we run many tests in parallel, each creating its own cluster. In some tests we also have a timeout for the test to create the JChannel (among other things), and these delays can lead to random failures (e.g. ISPN-4802).
