Don't forget this applies to all calls to your JApplet that you didn't 
initiate yourself.  For example, init(), start(), stop() and destroy(): 
  you definitely should access any UI component they interact with on 
the EDT. This includes destroying UI components and shutting down, not 
just creating the GUI.

Also, don't forget thatany other JComponent method could be called by 
JavaScript, or in fact JavaScript could call any public method at all 
that your applet declares.  If you're being really defensive, you might 
want to override all public methods that access the GUI or are not 
thread safe, and verify you are in fact being called on the EDT (or do 
whatever else is needed to assure/detect thread safety).
