See:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/package-summary.html

Or for backwards-compatibility:

http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/concurrent/intro.html

The official 1.5 package is based off of the latter -- essentially the
same threading guru wrote both.  In these packages, you can find the
constructs you want, such as class ReentrantLock with the method
tryLock().
