Description

Greg, hello;

in this thread:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/pivot-user/201001.mbox/[e-mail]%3E

your final word is:
"Sorry, it is not possible"

but I know that you know that it is possible

the reason I need this is same as Martin here:
http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90590

namely: do some cleanup after shutdown was requested and confirmed:
org.apache.pivot.wtk.Application
public boolean shutdown(boolean optional) throws Exception;

since you call shutdown(boolean optional) from EDT I need to block it, using this approach:
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6424157

wich "almost works", except you have this check everywhere:
Container.assertEventDispatchThread();

which fails, as described above:
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6424157
due to EventQueue.isDispatchThread() failing on the "T1 vs T1*" distinction

my request is this:
do you think you could make
Container.assertEventDispatchThread();
less pedantic, and allow both "current and past/next" EDT threads to pass which are created during EventQueue push() / pop()

thanks!

Andrei
