# OMWorld Tasks

Umbrella issue tracking the work being done on OMWorld in the Lilliput project. 

The main goal with OMWorld is to provide a mechanism for associating an ObjectMonitor with an Object and discovering such an association in a way that all threads and contexts agree upon which ObjectMonitor to use without disturbing the non-lock-bits of the mark word.

The development of OMWorld is done one the `omworld-jdk` branch in the Lilliput repo (https://github.com/openjdk/lilliput/tree/omworld-jdk). This work is based on-top of the latest jdk:jdk. The merge and integration is done in the `omworld` branch in the Lilliput repo and is tracked in a separate issue.
