/**
* An abstract class to perform lengthy GUI-interacting tasks in a
* dedicated thread.
*
*
* When writing a multi-threaded application using Swing, there are
* two constraints to keep in mind:
* (refer to
*
* How to Use Threads
* for more details):
*
* - Time-consuming tasks should not be run on the Event
* Dispatch Thread. Otherwise the application becomes unresponsive.
*
* - Swing components should be accessed on the Event
* Dispatch Thread only.
*
*
*
*
*
*
* These constraints mean that a GUI application with time intensive
* computing needs at least two threads: 1) a thread to perform the lengthy
* task and 2) the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT) for all GUI-related
* activities. This involves inter-thread communication which can be
* tricky to implement.
*
*
* {@code SwingWorker} is designed for situations where you need to have a long
* running task run in a background thread and provide updates to the UI
* either when done, or while processing.
* Subclasses of {@code SwingWorker} must implement
* the {@see #doInBackground} method to perform the background computation.
*
*
*
* Workflow
*
* There are three threads involved in the life cycle of a
* {@code SwingWorker} :
*
* -
*
* Current thread: The {@link #execute} method is
* called on this thread. It schedules {@code SwingWorker} for the execution on a
* worker
* thread and returns immediately. One can wait for the {@code SwingWorker} to
* complete using the {@link #get get} methods.
*
-
*
* Worker thread: The {@link #doInBackground}
* method is called on this thread.
* This is where all background activities should happen. To notify
* {@code PropertyChangeListeners} about bound properties changes use the
* {@link #firePropertyChange firePropertyChange} and
* {@link #getPropertyChangeSupport} methods. By default there are two bound
* properties available: {@code state} and {@code progress}.
*
-
*
* Event Dispatch Thread: All Swing related activities occur
* on this thread. {@code SwingWorker} invokes the
* {@link #process process} and {@link #done} methods and notifies
* any {@code PropertyChangeListeners} on this thread.
*
*
*
* Often, the Current thread is the Event Dispatch
* Thread.
*
*
*
* Before the {@code doInBackground} method is invoked on a worker thread,
* {@code SwingWorker} notifies any {@code PropertyChangeListeners} about the
* {@code state} property change to {@code StateValue.STARTED}. After the
* {@code doInBackground} method is finished the {@code done} method is
* executed. Then {@code SwingWorker} notifies any {@code PropertyChangeListeners}
* about the {@code state} property change to {@code StateValue.DONE}.
*
*
* {@code SwingWorker} is only designed to be executed once. Executing a
* {@code SwingWorker} more than once will not result in invoking the
* {@code doInBackground} method twice.
*
*
* Sample Usage
*
* The following example illustrates the simplest use case. Some
* processing is done in the background and when done you update a Swing
* component.
*
*
* Say we want to find the "Meaning of Life" and display the result in
* a {@code JLabel}.
*
*
* final JLabel label;
* class MeaningOfLifeFinder extends SwingWorker<String, Object> {
* {@code @Override}
* public String doInBackground() {
* return findTheMeaningOfLife();
* }
*
* {@code @Override}
* protected void done() {
* try {
* label.setText(get());
* } catch (Exception ignore) {
* }
* }
* }
*
* (new MeaningOfLifeFinder()).execute();
*
*
*
* The next example is useful in situations where you wish to process data
* as it is ready on the Event Dispatch Thread.
*
*
* Now we want to find the first N prime numbers and display the results in a
* {@code JTextArea}. While this is computing, we want to update our
* progress in a {@code JProgressBar}. Finally, we also want to print
* the prime numbers to {@code System.out}.
*
* class PrimeNumbersTask extends
* SwingWorker<List<Integer>, Integer> {
* PrimeNumbersTask(JTextArea textArea, int numbersToFind) {
* //initialize
* }
*
* {@code @Override}
* public List<Integer> doInBackground() {
* while (! enough && ! isCancelled()) {
* number = nextPrimeNumber();
* publish(number);
* setProgress(100 * numbers.size() / numbersToFind);
* }
* }
* return numbers;
* }
*
* {@code @Override}
* protected void process(List<Integer> chunks) {
* for (int number : chunks) {
* textArea.append(number + "\n");
* }
* }
* }
*
* JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
* final JProgressBar progressBar = new JProgressBar(0, 100);
* PrimeNumbersTask task = new PrimeNumbersTask(textArea, N);
* task.addPropertyChangeListener(
* new PropertyChangeListener() {
* public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
* if ("progress".equals(evt.getPropertyName())) {
* progressBar.setValue((Integer)evt.getNewValue());
* }
* }
* });
*
* task.execute();
* System.out.println(task.get()); //prints all prime numbers we have got
*
*
*
* Because {@code SwingWorker} implements {@code Runnable}, a
* {@code SwingWorker} can be submitted to an
* {@link java.util.concurrent.Executor} for execution.
