Class OsxMainThreadExecutor

java.lang.Object

org.jowidgets.tools.osx.OsxMainThreadExecutor

public final class OsxMainThreadExecutor
extends java.lang.Object

A workaround to deal with the problem that swt applications started with webstart won't work on mac os x under some circumstances even if -XstartOnFirstThread was set in the jnlp (for me java 7_51, swt-mac-osx-64-4.3). Remark: This workaround only works for os x on a mac and it depends on non public api that may be changed. But for now it works and may be the problem described may be fixed in future releases :-)
