Title
Body
I use SwingWorker in Java 6 to avoid running long-running code on the event dispatch thread. If the call to get() in my done() method returns an exception, what is an appropriate way of handling the exception? I'm particularly concerned about possible InterruptedExceptions. The JavaDoc example simply ignores the exception but I've learnt over the years that swallowing exceptions leads to hard-to-debug code. A sample usage is as follows: new SwingWorker<String, Void>() { @Override protected String doInBackground() throws Exception { // do long-running calculation return result; } @Override protected void done() { try { setTextField(get()); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (ExecutionException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }.execute();
