If the UI thread is created and running, i want to using the asyncExec()
to execute some code in it. If it's not, i have to create a new thread to
create the display.
but the problem is, how can i determine whether the UI thread is created
or not?

try grab active shell or window and if it isn't null you are in UI thread
for example,

if (PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow() != null) {
// UI thread
}

If you know what threads exist (e.g. Thread.enumerate()), you could loop
over the threads and use Display.findDisplay(Thread) to determine if there
is a display for any of the threads.
