Synchronization on a 'Lock' object

Reports synchronized blocks that lock on an instance of java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock. Such synchronization is almost certainly unintended, and appropriate versions of .lock() and .unlock() should be used instead.

Example:

  final ReentrantLock lock = new ReentrantLock();

  public void foo() {
    synchronized (lock) {}
  }
