BoxLayout, GridLayout, or GridBagLayout would all work.

No, actually that isn't relevant to the question at all.

Then I guess you are out of luck.

Seriously, you haven't said why getSource() won't work (it will by the way) and you haven't given any good reason not to define separate listeners. You can define separate listeners as inner classes, anonymous or named.

Great! :)

I would recommend constructing your UI components as you normally would, outside of the done() method, and just use done() to add the List contents.

Try adding some println statements to monitor what's going on in your task and print stack traces in your catch blocks. You're deliberately blinding yourself to exceptions with empty catch blocks.

Just glancing real quick, if upperLeftY reaches 0 you hit the top and can reset to the starting Y position?

You have to call worker.execute() to execute the task. Your code above is just the declaration.

The SwingWorker API doc has some notes on its usage as well.

Remove the left parenthesis so you just have }; It's just a minor syntax error in the anonymous class declaration.

Take a look through this tutorial on concurrency in Swing

SwingWorker invokes a worker thread in the background that does not tie up the event queue. SwingWorker may publish results for updates on the event queue, but it does not have to.

SwingUtilities.invokeLater() schedules a task to run on the event queue. While the task runs, nothing else on the event queue will be processed - so your GUI will be unresponsive pending completion of that task. That is why you don't want to process long-running tasks directly on the event queue.

Your class outline already has pretty straightforward instructions.

Ask specific questions about the parts which confuse you.

Oh, yeah, I guess they did announce that today? I already forgot...

Help with what?

How to use code tags maybe? Select your code and click the button on the editor that says [code]

How to properly post a question? Use a descriptive title, not just "help" or "urgent" (trust me, it's not urgent to anyone else). Describe the problem. Post specific error messages and stack traces if you have them.

You don't have to name the class, just the reference you're creating.

Thread t = new Thread()
        {
            @Override
            public void run()
            {
                while(true)
                {
                    //Update loop stuff
                }
            }
        };
t.setDaemon(true);
t.start();

mirror > reflect

broken > shatter

Yes, as Kramerd suggested, you'll need to create the Thread object, setDaemon(), and then start it.

The setDaemon() method is a void return, so you cannot chain it as you tried above. If setDaemon() returned a reference to itself then chaining would be possible.

Or just create your own small wrapper model.

No one is going to answer quiz questions for you.

Formulate your own answers and if you have uncertainties, ask specific questions. Explain your reasoning or thoughts on the areas you doubt,

Demonstrate some effort in the process if you want others to take their own time to help you.

@walexy: No, you're just going to have to do your own work.
