[Jython-users] Threads

[Kevin M. <qk...@lm...>]

I am trying to use threads so that I can revalidate some panes while
performing a series of long tasks, i.e.

long task
update & revalidate pane
long task
update & revalidate pane
etc.

This would be done in a loop. I have tried several things:

synchronize module
------------------
This is used with the notify() & wait() methods. While there are seperate
threads they are not running concurrently. This is no good, What I need is
synchronous threads. A good example at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jpython/message/1641

swing.Timer
-----------
More promising. I started a timer to update the GUI every 5 seconds and
ran long tasks as swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(task). However, this
didn't work. It seems the timer is blocked until the task is completed
(demo attached).

SwingWorker Class
-----------------
?


Can someone point me in the right direction here?
Any good examples,links?


Any help appreciated,
Kevin
