Beni:

here you mention threading:
http://forum.byte-welt.net/showthread.php?t=3046

request:

do you mind adding to your guides section “docking-frames: threading”
and also briefly describe here what docking-frames expects,
how it should / or should not be called in terms of thread safety and edt specifically?

thank you;

Andrei

There really isn’t much to say: its Swing, it expects everything from the EDT.

3

then why did you fix it, instead of forcing EDT compliance on the client?

4

Because at startup the EDT does not yet exist. So, like Swing, the framework should be able to operate on the main-thread until the EDT really starts (normally by opening a window).

5

got it; I would still add couple of lines to the guides;

6

Maybe you are right. I’m just not sure that people actually will read them :wink:

7

they do; I do!

few ideas:

  1. make them more easily accessible, like permalinks on this forum and links next to the jnlp start on main web;

  2. specifically say firmly „you must read this or else I will not answer any of your questions“ :slight_smile:

links back to svn should work? then people will have your latest edition;
