Remove spin lock in waitWhileAutoMode.

[wadoon]

This PR removes the spin-lock waiting in MediatorProofControl used for waiting on auto-mode finish.

      while (ui.getMediator().isInAutoMode()) { // Wait until auto mode has stopped.
            try {
                Thread.sleep(100);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            }
        }

It uses the Condition class provided by Java5+ concurrent API. Conditions provide a simple interface for waiting and signaling of threads.

We may want to discuss, whether we want one lock in KeYMediator and share it with the threads, or the current solution, the threads have an lock and set the condition in MediatorProofControl.

It is hard to test, but I didn't observe anything by pressing the start/stop button wildly.

Hi,

thanks a lot! In the sibling class "DefaultProofControl" there is a similar busy wait, is it possible to apply your solution there as well?

Best regards,
Richard

I removed the spin lock also from DefaultProofControl. It is rather a simple change, I did not try to avoid code duplication.

We have plenty of Thread.sleeps in the test cases. And there is a strange class Watchdog, which says it tries to detect deadlocks, but this makes no sense because Java has a built-in mechanism for deadlock detection.

The class is supposed to detect when the GUI thread is blocked. That's not automatically handled by Java.
