Method Detail

awtThreadInvokeNow

public static boolean awtThreadInvokeNow(java.lang.Runnable r)

Invoke & wait in the event dispatcher thread. Returns only after the runnable was completed.

Parameters:

r - The Runnable to execute.

awtThreadInvokeLater

public static boolean awtThreadInvokeLater(java.lang.Runnable r)

Invoke runnable in the event dispatcher thread. Returns immediately. The Runnable is invoked sometime in the future.

Parameters:

r - The Runnable to execute.

nonAwtThreadInvokeNow

@Deprecated
public static void nonAwtThreadInvokeNow(java.lang.Runnable r)

Deprecated. No sense in using this method, as it blocks the event dispatcher anyway (even though it uses a non-awt thread, it still waits for it..)

Invoke a runnable in a non-AWT thread. Blocking, so this method will return only after the Runnable.run() method finished.

If the current thread is the event dispatcher thread then a new thread is created for the Runnable. Otherwise the current thread runs it.

nonAwtThreadInvokeLater

public static void nonAwtThreadInvokeLater(java.lang.Runnable r)

Invokes a Runnable in a different thread than the event dispatcher thread. Returns immediately, the runnable is executed sometime in the future.
