Class SwtHelper

java.lang.Object

gnu.jemacs.swt.SwtHelper

public class SwtHelper
extends java.lang.Object

A Class to act as a layer between SwtJemacs and SWT. SWT requires that (almost) all calls to widget methods and constructors happen in the GUI event loop thread. On the other hand it should be possible in JEmacs/Kawa to create new threads and call functions that may, in turn, call SwtJemacs. Therefore we must have this layer between SwtJemacs and SWT. Each method in this class will make sure it is executed in the GUI loop thread.
