More importantly, declaring a shared resource as volatile can be misleading as it may give a false sense of thread safety; it's crucial to know that the mere act of sprinkling the keyword volatile on fields doesn't guarantee thread safety and definitely doesn't protect against concurrency issues. Let's take the following simple task as an example:

class Task implements Runnable {
  volatile static int sum = 0;
  public void run() { ++sum; }
}
public class Main {
  public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
    Task task = new Task();
    for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
      new Thread(task).start();
    }
    Thread.sleep(1000); // ad-hoc wait till threads finish
    System.out.println("sum: " + Task.sum);
  }
}
