Event dispatcher thread: notes on Liang(2009)

You need to write code in he event dispatch thread to avoid deadlock.

import javax.swing.*;

public class EventDispatcherThreadDemo 
                           extends JApplet
{
    // you need to write code in he event dispatch
   // thread to avoid deadlock

     public EventDispatcherThreadDemo()
     {
         add(new JLabel("Hi, it runs from an event dispatch thread"));
     }

     public static void main(String[] args)
     {
         SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()  {
            public void run()
            {
              JFrame frame = 
                  new JFrame("EventDispatcherThreadDemo");
              frame.add(new EventDispatcherThreadDemo());
              frame.setSize(300,200);
              frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
              frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
              frame.setVisible(true);
            }

         });  // anonymous inncer class
     }
}
