JTabbedPane.removeAll() throws java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException

Hi Guys,

My JTabbedPane.removeAll() throws java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException; should one handle this in a try/catch or is there a better way to do this that no exceptions are thrown ?

Cheers,

Ulvi

Good one Michael

Figured it out myself, two events happenning at the same time and two different threads try to remove the tabs in a race condiition.

Sorry for the false alarm and thanks for the attention.

CHeers,

If you read the documentation, it says

Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.

You should read that link, and never try to access a Swing component from any thread but the EDT.

It wasn't a false alarm, as you will see if you look at the links I provided you.
