execute SwingWorker multiple times

I want to be able to use SwingWorker subclass multiple times. Is this possible?

I have read in the java doc:

SwingWorker is only designed to be executed once. Executing a SwingWorker more than once will not result in invoking the doInBackground method twice.

Solution

  • One instance of a class implementing SwingWorker can be indeed ran only once. There are no limitations on instantiating as many instances as you need and running them.
