Re: intermittent hang on launch - Solved

I think I have this working right, now. It was a deadlock, caused by some sloppy programming. We did not run our app in a thread, as recommended, and we got bitten.

The solution is pretty much what Doug Zwick and Ulrich Kortenkamp recommended, using a main() kind of like this:

public static void main(final String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater (new Runnable() { public void run() { runMyApp(args); } });
}

or this:

public static void main(final String[] args) {
Thread t = new Thread("MyAppThread") { public void run() { runMyApp(args); } };
try { javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(t); }
catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
}
where runMyApp(String[] args) looks like this:

private static void runMyApp(String[] args) {
app = new MyApp(); // does initializations
try { app.run(args); } // run it
catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } // reports bad stuff
}

We had some of our initializations in the run method, and some in the constructor. Bad.
