#51 Swing is not thread-safe

[Daniel Ecer]

Hi,

Swing is not thread-safe...
Which is why calls to Swing from another Thread need to be executed using SwingUtilities#invokeAndWait(Runnable) (or something similar).
Otherwise it may work but could very well have strange effects.
Apart from that the ProjectX code itself does not seem to be thread-safe which itself can cause similar effects.

Swing also has a Timer class which can be used - then the code is executed within the event thread and the above does not apply.

(There are several places in the ProjectX source using Threads incorrectly)

till now that seems not to be a prob,
only one effect noticed by someone: the rolling log window crashes in some circumstances (but seems only occur in very brand new runtime versions)
