Yes (if you spell it "synchronized").

Remember, each instance has its own lock, but there is also a class lock. If "synchronized" is used with a static (class) method, then the class lock must be obtained.

If you're not sure about the differences between a class lock and an object lock, the now would probably be a good time to work though the Sun Java Thread Tutorial, which explains these concepts, and also has plenty of examples. The chapter on Synchronization is especially relevant.
