Can you explain the concept of Livelock in the context of multithreading in Java?

Livelock is a situation in multithreading where threads actively respond to each other, constantly changing their state, but do not make progress in completing the task. Unlike deadlock, where threads wait for each other, in livelock, threads do not block but continually 'go aside', trying to avoid conflict, but as a result, they do not make progress.

An example in Java: two threads try to acquire two resources, but each, upon detecting that a resource is busy, releases the already acquired resource and tries again, causing both to continually release and acquire resources without doing useful work.

To avoid livelock, random delays are usually introduced or the logic of retrying resource acquisition is changed.
