The Swing EventDispatchThread thread is the thread that prods your
various listeners with events. It is sometimes called the EDT, Event
Dispatch Thread. Sometimes it is called simply the Swing thread, even
though it handles AWT as well and even though its Thread name is
AWT-EventQueue-0.

I suggest you use some of the tools to dump all threads,  display the
current thread etc to experiment and get the hang of how it works.

The main place you are sure you are on the Swing thread in is an event
handler.
