I guess I should of pointed out that I have already
tried the SwingWorker utility. I have tried various incarnations
of threading, using my real code and test code. If I have a
thread that does not sleep, then the main application locks up.
Using yield does not help. If I put a sleep in the loop, then
everything works fine (sleeping while doing a time intensive
operation is not very productive). I was hoping I could lower
the priority of my method to allow the Swing event handling code
to run.
As an aside, the SwingWorker utility does not work
using native threads (on my system). It works fine under green
threads, but it does not appear to actually switch threads.
Any suggestions?
