  views.MessageShower

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public class MessageShower
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Runnable

The MessageShower class relays messages and errors that occur to the event dispatch thread. Because it's unsafe for other threads to manipulate Swing components, this class should be run with the SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait method to display an error dialog in the correct thread.
