Pausing a Swing Worker Thread?

[C-man]

Does anybody out there know how to pause/resume a Swing Worker thread. I
have implemented my program to be able to cancel the thread by checking if
it has been interrupted() in my code. but how do I pause the thread. If I
were to use wait() and notify() how to I implement that? Do I have to add a
new Function to SwingWorker.java?

Thanks alot

ISTR SwingWorker is an abstract class. You must extend
it with your own methods anyway. You'll have to decide
what it means to pause the thread, since SwingWorker
is supposed to finish its task and then post a Runnable
to the AWT Event Dispatch Thread (using
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(Runnable)) to notify completion.

You could use a flag in your run method. (I did not
try to compile this.)

loop:
if(flag)
{
try
{
Thread.sleep(500); // half a second
continue loop;
}
catch(InterruptedException e)
{}
}
