Description

To make some code (even user code) more readable, verify if use an annotation to mark a method (or a block of code, like a Closure if/where appliable) to run its code in the EDT event thread, so something like:

ApplicationContext.queueCallback(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run()

{ // stuff code ... }
});


could be

@edt( ...optional parameters )
myStuffCode() { // stuff code ... }

just as idea ... probably not-so-much type saving, but more readable.

And then: verify if as a runtime-only annotation (this should be enough), or even compile annotation ...
