Method Summary

T	construct() Compute the value to be returned by the get method.
void	execute() For compatibility with old versions of SwingWorker, calls start().
void	finished() Called on the event dispatching thread (not on the worker thread) after the construct method has returned.
T	get() Return the value created by the construct method.
void	interrupt() A new method that interrupts the worker thread.
boolean	isInterrupted()
void	start() Start the worker thread.

Method Detail

construct
