Regarding the wait, from the docsOriginally posted by theneoenderson
"A thread waits on an object's monitor by calling one of the wait methods."
"This method should only be called by a thread that is the owner of this object's monitor."
Similar descriptions hold for the other methods.
These methods therefore have to be in Object since an Object is the monitor for a thread.
