@veree

You had a typo that caused me a bit of confusion. Should be:

(javax.swing.SwingUtilities/invokeLater temp-app) ;; note the extra “i”

Hi Stuart,
I’ve taken your examples here as a starting point of starting a lib around clojure and swing, it is at the stage where I could nicely implement this example, if there is interested here is a little description: http://blog.licenser.net/2010/05/11/the-ease-of-guis

Yes, I’ve beet putting off a discussion of the event dispatch thread. But you are entirely correct. Perhaps it’s time for me to write about concurrency in Swing.

Nice touch.

But it should be pointed out that by default this is executed from the REPL thread which the main thread (that which ‘public static void main(String[] args)’ is called from) and this is a bad thing as everything in Swing should be called from the event dispatch thread.

This is easily fixed though: (SwingUtilites/invokeLater temp-app) will do the job, as every Clojure fn is also a java.lang.Runnable.
