SwingUtilities.invokeLater () vs EventQueue.invokeLater ()

Question

Are there any differences between EventQueue.invokeLater() and SwingUtilities.invokeLater() ?

Or is it just built on top of the first (no change) for the sake of design?

Answer 1

There is no difference.

The SwingUtilities class was built to combine all the common utility methods used in swing into one class. Internally, SwingUtilities.invokeLater() calls EventQueue.invokeLater()

 1197 public static void invokeLater(Runnable doRun) { 1198 EventQueue.invokeLater(doRun); 1199 }
