jtextarea slow to display 1

[murrayja]

I am using netbeans to write a database copy program.
I have dropped a jtextarea inside a jscrollpane to use as a progress log. Everything runs inside a run-button clicked event. My problem is that the log is not displayed as it is written but everything comes out when the run-button event is exited.

Do i have to set up a separate thread to run the process?

Yes. Get those operations out of the Swing thread.

invokeLater and invokeAndWait will be your fellows.



Cheers,
