Some Thread Synchronization Question?

i have one doubt regarding synchronization in java threads

1)As in case of static synschronized methods , thread get a lock on the Class object for that class.
if it locks the class object then if any other thread want to create a new instance of that class , does it has to wait till lock gets released?

Is there a program you are having a problem with?
Have you tried writing some short programs to test these questions? If so please post them with your questions.

Actually i am new to threads. Yes i have written some programmes but did not post here as these are generics questions. Got bit confused so thought of getting clarity on basics of threads

People may be hesitant to help, how do we know these aren't homework questions?

Your questions also seem a bit confusing and it would be helpful to clarify them if at all possible.

As for static synchronized methods, I'm pretty confident that it obtains the lock of the Class object for that class.
