It is mentioned in the documentation of BoxLayout.invalidateLayout() that this method may be called on a thread other than the UI thread.
Is this still the case? If it is, shouldn’t this fact be documented more prominently? I notice that OverlayLayout does not synchronize. I also notice that GroupLayout synchronizes in the invalidateLayout method, but nowhere else, which seems useless, unless there is some subtlety in Java synchronization that I am unaware of. As far as I can tell, the remaining implementations of this method in the JDK are empty. Alan
