This is semi-swing related, but since there's not a swing-interest list and since it's
also semi 2D related, I thought I'd try here.
I learned this past JavaOne that every swing app I have ever written has been broken,
as I often do
public static void main(String[] args)
{
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setVisible(true);
}
when in fact I should be calling this from the event handling thread via a
SwingUtilities.invokeLater() call.
My question is, can I call repaint() on a component from another thread, or does that
also have to be called from within the event thread? Doesn't repaint just queue a
request for later processing anyway? If so, why would I need to spawn a separate
thread just to call the repaint?
