Exception in thread "AWT-AppKit" org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Invalid thread access

This error is on a Mac 10.4, Eclipse 3.6.2, swt.carbon.macosx_3.6.2v3659b.jar. Does anyone have a solution for this error when running a stand alone jar?

Wrap the call in a Display.asyncExec() call.

Wrapping the code with:
Dispay.getDefault().syncExecExec(new Runnable(){
        public void run(){
           ...code here
        }
    });
works. But after reading from a file in code, I am getting an invalid thread access error at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.mouseHoverProc(Unknown Source). I have wrapped the MouseHover and MouseEnter events with the above call which solved a few errors. But the file access call brings up the error on mouseHoverProc. Any suggestions or ideas?

I'm not sure what kind of typo "syncExecExec" is supposed to be, but
please use "asyncExec" instead of "syncExec", if you can. Using the
latter gives you more chances of a dead lock.

Yes: You need to devide your code into clear AWT and clear SWT zones. If
you switch the border between both, use Display#asyncExec to tunnel from
AWT to SWT and use EventQueue#invokeLater to tunnel from SWT to AWT.
