For reference, here is the Java API for a Semaphore ( 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/Semaphore.html
 ):

Semaphore
---------
public Semaphore(int permits)

Creates a Semaphore with the given number of permits and nonfair fairness 
setting.

Parameters:

permits - the initial number of permits available. This value may be negative, 
in which case releases must occur before any acquires will be granted.
