Perhaps a race condition.

[Vaclav Havlik]

Hello,
perhaps I am wrong, but I suspect myself of seeing a bug in Apache Directory 
Studio 2.0.0.v20151221-M10.



In EntryEditorManager.updateAutoSaveSharedReferenceCopy (runs in main thread)

-> EntryEditorUtils.ensureAttributesInitialized(entry);
  -> StudioBrowserJob runs InitializeAttributesRunnable in a thread
    -> InitializeAttributesRunnable.run
        -> initializeAttributes( entry, monitor ) -> initializeAttributes( 
entry, returningAttributes, true, monitor )
           -> entry.deleteAttribute( oldAttribute ) -> 
ai.attributeMap.remove(Strings.toLowerCase(oidString));


-> new CompoundModification().replaceAttributes(entry, workingCopy, this);
     -> fromEntry.getAttributes() -> ai.attributeMap.values()


Thus, the 1st thread modifies ai.attributeMap and at the same time the 2nd 
thread reads it. Only initializeAttributes is synchronized, but on its class 
object.

Is it not a race condition?

Thank you. With regards Vaclav Havlik.
