Summary: Review Request: swing-worker - Long running Swing GUI interacting tasks https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459926 Summary: Review Request: swing-worker - Long running Swing GUI interacting tasks Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: cassmodiah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: notting@xxxxxxxxxx, fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora Spec URL: http://cassmodiah.fedorapeople.org/swing-worker-1.2-1/swing-worker.spec SRPM URL: http://cassmodiah.fedorapeople.org/swing-worker-1.2-1/swing-worker-1.2-1.fc9.src.rpm Description: When writing a multi-threaded application using Swing, there are two constraints to keep in mind: (refer to How to Use Threads for more details): * Time-consuming tasks should not be run on the Event Dispatch Thread. Otherwise the application becomes unresponsive. * Swing components should be accessed on the Event Dispatch Thread only. These constraints mean that a GUI application with time intensive computing needs at least two threads: 1) a thread to perform the lengthy task and 2) the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT) for all GUI-related activities. This involves inter-thread communication which can be tricky to implement. SwingWorker is designed for situations where you need to have a long running task run in a background thread and provide updates to the UI either when done, or while processing. This project is a backport of SwingWorker included into 1.6. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
