Hi,

I have AWT-Panel embedded into my swt view. I also do have a TextViewer
in that view. What I'd like to do is whenever something int the
awt-widget is selected I want to change the content of the TextViewer. I
can't do this directly as setDocument() is only callable from within the
ui-thread, but the selection event is handled in another thread.

So is there a way to change the text of a textviewer from within another
thread? Or is this all only because the widget is an awt widget, i.e.
there is no possibility to change the data of swt widgets from within
awt widget?
