I should have added that SwingWorker implements the Future interface.
For none Swing applications the equivalent class to use would be FutureTask.

For the masochists there's always the "Good Old Days" of multi-threaded C programming in X/Motif applications using an implementation of threads which pre-dates POSIX pthreads. Passing events from your own threads to the Motif event loop was always good bit of fun for late on a Friday afternoon.
