Class SwingWorker

public abstract class SwingWorker

This is the 3rd version of SwingWorker (also known as SwingWorker 3), an abstract class that you subclass to perform GUI-related work in a dedicated thread. For instructions on using this class, see: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/threads.html Note that the API changed slightly in the 3rd version: You must now invoke start() on the SwingWorker after creating it.

public abstract Object construct()

Compute the value to be returned by the get method.

public void finished()

Called on the event dispatching thread (not on the worker thread) after the construct method has returned.

public Object get()

Return the value created by the construct method. Returns null if either the constructing thread or the current thread was interrupted before a value was produced.

Returns: the value created by the construct method

public void interrupt()

A new method that interrupts the worker thread. Call this method to force the worker to stop what it's doing.
