In the current version of the docs, JTextComponent.getText() is no

That's sort of backwards from the way I need to do it.  I have a running 
thread that needs to collect data from some GUI components, process it 
and send it along.

And usually in that instance in the invokeLater Runnable you get some 
data from your GUI and start a new thread to process them.  Starting a 
new thread, guarantees "happens before".
