Re: [ jEdit-devel ] Patch: Send EditBus messages in the AWT thread

[Matthieu C. <cho...@gm...>]

yes and finally it could be faster like that since most listeners of EditBus
had to work in AWT Thread they had to create Runnable and do some
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(), with this change they no longer have to create
those Runnable everytime
