strange stack trace in idea.log

Hello Thibaut,

No, this is not just an information message, this indicates a bug in your
plugin. You're calling JLabel.setText(), a Swing method, from a thread other
than the event dispatch thread. You need to wrap the call in invokeLater().

Since a few eaps i'm seeing this in idea.log

What's strange is that according to the stack trace, the method being
called is indeed Component.repaint, thus, I don't understand the
message. Is this just an information message ?

I can understand that, however
- I do not understand that part of hte message : "revalidate(), invalidate() & repaint() is ok from any thread"
- this is new right ? i had never seen this before 8890, and the text I was setting using that setText method has always been displayed correctly.

I'll modify this anyway but I'm trying to understand


edit : just to be sure, i just tested using IDEA 7, and indeed I can't see any message like this, nor is anything unexpected happening

Hello Thibaut,

I can understand that, however

- I do not understand that part of hte message : "revalidate(),
invalidate() & repaint() is ok from any thread"

If you're calling specifically these methods, you're allowed to call them
from any thread.

- this is new right ? i had never seen this before 8890, and the text
I was setting using that setText method has always been displayed
correctly.

The rule has been there forever, and it's defined by Sun, not by us. The
check enforcing that rule in our code is indeed new.
