Hi
I am embedding a swing JEditorPane within an SWT Composite, which is nested
in a JFace dialog. I would like to listen to events that occur in the
JEditorPane, and according to them, to either enable/disable the OK button
of the dialog. I tried to access the JFace code from my swing listener, and
got an exception that says that the SWT code is running from the wrong
thread. Does anyone knows if swing opens its own thread, and if so, how can
i still access JFace/SWT elements from swing code.
thanks
Maya and Yoav

Look at:

Display.getDefault().asyncExec(
new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// SWT UI code here
}
});

Also, the .syncExec() method for in-line execution.
