[stringtemplate-interest] deadlock during the static initialization

[Nils Liebelt]

Hi all,

I spotted an racing condition that occures during the (static) 
initialization of StringTemplate and StringTemplateGroup.
The result is an deadlock that occures when initializing the classes 
from different threads. Please find attached a simple junit testcase
that illustrates the behaviour. Also attached is a thread dump that 
shows stacktraces after the deadlock occures. To get around this
issue you must statically initialize one of the classes before actual 
creating the instances of the mentioned classes  (see testcase)

The problem affects StringTemplate Version 3.2. I can reproduce the 
behaviour on sun jvm 1.6.0_03-b05 (64bit) and 1.6.0_07-b06 (32bit)

Is this a known bug? Can I raise a jira?


Regards,

Nils
