copied!<blockquote> <p>But what are these Swing component methods that are labelled "thread safe"?</p> </blockquote> <p>Most Swing components' methods are NOT thread safe. But some are. To find out which ones, you have no option but to peruse the javadocs for your target components. <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=%22is+thread+safe%22+site:http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing&hl=en&filter=0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">A carefully constructed google search</a> might quicken the process.</p> <blockquote> <p>Are there actually any?</p> </blockquote> <p>Yes there are indeed. Generally speaking, if you are working with Swing components, it is likely that you are going to have to invoke both thread-safe and non-thread-safe methods. Since most methods are non-thread-safe, I prefer to err on the side of caution, and perform all actions on them in a thread-safe manner anyway.</p> <p>HTH</p> <hr> <p>Not exhaustive list.</p> <p>DefaultStyledDocument:</p> <ul> <li>protected void insert(int offset, DefaultStyledDocument.ElementSpec[] data) throws BadLocationException</li> <li>public void setLogicalStyle(int pos, Style s)</li> <li>public void setCharacterAttributes(int offset, int length, AttributeSet s, boolean replace)</li> <li>public void setParagraphAttributes(int offset, int length, AttributeSet s, boolean replace)</li> </ul> <p>javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument:</p> <ul> <li>public void render(Runnable r)</li> <li>public void remove(int offs, int len) throws BadLocationException</li> <li>public void insertString(int offs, String str, AttributeSet a) throws BadLocationException</li> <li>public Position createPosition(int offs) throws BadLocationException</li> </ul> <p>javax.swing.undo.UndoManager:<br> Class is threadsafe</p>
