Threads really do apply to any Java GUI application, and not seeing or
understanding them won't make them go away. Specifically, your main
method and the things it calls directly run in one thread. The GUI event
handling runs in a different thread.

Every time you start your program there is a risk that the GUI thread
will see out-of-date values for some of the fields you initialized in
the main thread. The alternative main program that Lew posted gets rid
of that risk, by asking the GUI thread to run the initialization code
instead of calling it directly.
