I'm Kirill Grouchnikov and this blog is about user interfaces, imaging and related topics. Half the time i spend writing the code i create new bugs, and the rest i try to chase and fix them without creating too many new ones. For now it seems to be a lost battle.
Java provides a neat way to carry out long lasting jobs without have to worry about threads and hanging the application. It's called SwingWorker. It's not the latest thing on Earth (released with Java 1.6) and you may have already read about it. What I never came across was a practical example of the swing worker.
