| SwingWorker | | abstract public class SwingWorker (Code) | | SwingWorker, adapted from Sun's Java Tutorial. This is the 3rd version of SwingWorker (also known as
SwingWorker 3), an abstract class that you subclass to perform GUI-related work in a dedicated thread. For
instructions on using this class, see: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/threads.html
Note that the API changed slightly in the 3rd version: you must now invoke start() on the SwingWorker after
creating it.
