Refreshing GUI by another thread in java (swing)

by

Here is a little snippet you can add to a method to ensure it executes in the the GUI thread. It relies on isEventDispatchThread().

public void updateGUI(final Status status) {
   if (!SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread()) {
     SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
       @Override
       public void run() {
          updateGUI(status);
       }
     });
     return;
   }
   //Now edit your gui objects
   ...
}
