SwingUtilities.java

    /**
     * Causes <i>doRun.run()</i> to be executed asynchronously on the
     * AWT event dispatching thread.  This will happen after all
     * pending AWT events have been processed.  This method should
     * be used when an application thread needs to update the GUI.
     * In the following example the <code>invokeLater</code> call queues
     * the <code>Runnable</code> object <code>doHelloWorld</code>
     * on the event dispatching thread and
     * then prints a message.
     * <pre>
     * Runnable doHelloWorld = new Runnable() {
     *     public void run() {
     *         System.out.println("Hello World on " + Thread.currentThread());
     *     }
     * };
     *
     * SwingUtilities.invokeLater(doHelloWorld);
     * System.out.println("This might well be displayed before the other message.");
     * </pre>
     * If invokeLater is called from the event dispatching thread --
     * for example, from a JButton's ActionListener -- the <i>doRun.run()</i> will
     * still be deferred until all pending events have been processed.
     * Note that if the <i>doRun.run()</i> throws an uncaught exception
     * the event dispatching thread will unwind (not the current thread).
     * <p>
     * Additional documentation and examples for this method can be
     * found in
     * <A HREF="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/concurrency/index.html">Concurrency in Swing</a>.
     * <p>
     * As of 1.3 this method is just a cover for <code>java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater()</code>.
     * <p>
     * Unlike the rest of Swing, this method can be invoked from any thread.
     *
