Is it possible to forbid synchronization on an object ?

In my long quest to implement a flyweight pattern with objects instantiated at compile time, I was indirectly notified of the possible problem of synchronization. In a flyweight pattern the user has the impression there are distinct instances where in fact objects with the same state (member
