I'd like to see that code.

Hi guys,

Well, it sounds like I might need to use calls to Thread.join in a few other

Not directly related, but I've been doing some work lately to work around
deadlocks.
First of all, it's important to note that Apple explicitly says you should not
block the EDT against the AppKit (main) thread or the AppKit thread against the
EDT
(http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Java/Reference/1.5.0/appledoc/api/com/apple/eawt/CocoaComponent.html),
as this will likely deadlock. My experience, is that you can leave "likely" out.
This goes for all Rococoa/Swing integrations as well.
I've been using a single threaded ExecutorService (Executors.newSingleThread...)
to make sure that my calls into AppKit never blocks the EDT (there might be a
way to call performSelectorOnMainThread without blocking now that could be used
instead). Then I've used a neat hack I found in an old blog
(http://jroller.com/santhosh/date/20050625), to make sure I can make blocking
calls on the EDT while the EDT still processes events. I might submit my code
for inclusion with Rococoa one day if anyone's interested. And of course always
call back to Swing using SwingUtilities.invokeLater.
