Oof... Approach for synchronization in `BeanContextServicesSupport` is confusing for me and inconsistent. Do you know why read access to `children` is not syncrhonized in `java.beans.beancontext.BeanContextSupport#add` ? https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/3be5758bb413fb6b4dc6191d78ca38332d5153f1/src/java.desktop/share/classes/java/beans/beancontext/BeanContextSupport.java#L394 ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12158
