Java - Threads, Swing, and ServerSocket

Question

I know I know, already a million questions and answers on this everywhere. Tons of really detailed articles on it, several types of examples. I\'ve spent the past few hours

Answer 1

You are reading from your Socket on the EDT. This means that you block it. Calling invokeLater only causes your Runnable to be executed on the EDT. You are piling two calls on the EDT, one of them being your socket.

Consider moving your socket in a SwingWorker which returns progressively the values of your Socker to the GUI.
