Class InvokeSWTLater


  • public class InvokeSWTLater
    extends java.lang.Object
    Helper class to invoke a Runnable in the SWT thread after a while, once. This is typically used when many events should react to a single action a little later (or that it must run in the SWT thread), and on top of that just once. There is no point in firing the event in SWT thread for every event, otherwise Display.syncExec should be used.
