def on_edt(&task)
  if javax.swing.SwingUtilities.event_dispatch_thread?

  end

repaint_while(&task) click to toggle source

Passes the supplied block to a separate thread and returns the result of the executed block back to the caller. This should be utilized for long- running tasks that ought not tie up the Swing Event Dispatch Thread. Passing a block to this method will allow the GUI to remain responsive (and repaint), while the long-running task is executing.

# File lib/monkeybars/task_processor.rb, line 13
def repaint_while(&task)
  runner = Runner.new(&task)
  Worker.post(runner)
end
