There's a couple questions here on StackOverflow on the subject of threading with the Swing api but things still aren't clear. What is the issue with the EDT, what is the proper way to initiate a Thread with Swing and in what cases should it be used? P.S: Any sources in terms of good practises would be appreciated. ...
Hi friends, I'm having problem with some framework API calling BufferedImage.getGraphics() method and thus causing memory leak. What this method does is that it always calls BufferedImage.createGraphics().

Hello, I have a SwingWorker thread with an IOBound task which is totally locking up the interface while it runs. Swapping out the normal workload for a counter loop has the same result. The SwingWorker looks basically like this: public class BackupWorker extends SwingWorker<String, String> { private static String uname = null; private...

After the introduction of Java Memory Model, the Swing guidelines were changed to state that any Swing components need to be instantiated on the EDT in order to avoid non-published instance state. What I could not find anywhere is whether the classloading is also mandated to be on the EDT or can we pre-load key Swing classes in a backg...
Two questions. First question is I'm trying to create a simple form that when you press a button, it adds a Person object to the ArrayList. However, since I am not used to GUIs, I tried creating one and am first just trying to get the user input from the JTextField, create an ActionListener object of the appropriate type, so once that ...

Im creating a table which is dynamically changing its width. And I add columns by time as well. And I have bounded this table to a scrollpane. Here I have set the auto resizing to false in the JTable (else it will fill the whole area from the beginning). And I'm adding images to cells using cellrenderer as well. Now I need to allow use...
Hello all, I am trying to create a Swing panel whose elements have a different font size than the rest of the swing application. Initially, using setFont for a couple of components didn't pose any problems. Now I have several components (and all their subcomponents), so this solution is impractical. I have searched about changing the d...

How can I implement drag and drop on custom components, e.g. my own JPanel subclasses? What I need is full Swing-like drag and drop support. With TransferHandlers, DropTargetListeners etc. So the trivial mousePressed() and mouseReleased() is not what I'm looking for. ...
I am planning on making a Java Swing application and was wondering if Swing is still used or if it has been replaced with something else. Thanks in advance! ...
Hi, while my swing app is running I change the size of the screen (e.g. from 1024x768 to 800x600). Is there any event I can listen to to be notified about this? Alternatively I could check the screen size in every couple of second, but the Toolkit.getScreenSize() keeps telling me the old value. How could I get the real screen size aft...

This is, I suppose, a very simple question for any Java programmer. My question is as simple as this: When the user clicks a button, I want to show a popup form that should have at least two JTextFields and two JLabels, so using JOptionPane.showInputDialog is not a possibility. Thanks. ...
