Here is a simple example of deadlock:
public class Dead implements Runnable {
   public static final Object lock = new Object();
   public static void main(String...args) throws Exception {
      synchronized (lock) {
          final Thread thread = new Thread(new Dead());
          thread.start();
          try {
              thread.join();
          } finally {
              System.exit(0);
          }
      }
   }

     public void run() {
         synchronized (lock) {
             System.out.println("This will never execute!");
         }
     }
}

I suggest you read the book Java Concurrency In Practice. It describes
common problems, correct solutions, and useful patterns for dealing with
concurrency. It is the most complete and understandable writing on the
matter that I have come across.
