Handling the Event Dispatch Thread

Question

I have a question about the \'Event Dispatch Thread\'. I have a Main class that is also a JFrame. It initialises the rest of the components in the code, some of them do not

Answer 1

Devon_C_Miller's answer is correct. I just want to point out a shortcut to invoking the event dispatch thread.

Here's how I start all of my Swing applications.

import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

import com.ggl.source.search.model.SourceSearchModel;
import com.ggl.source.search.view.SourceSearchFrame;

public class SourceSearch implements Runnable {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        new SourceSearchFrame(new SourceSearchModel());

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new SourceSearch());
    }

}

You can copy this to every Swing project, just by changing the names.
