When the Swing framework, which builds on the AWT framework, gets
around to it - in the repaint thread. Basically, a lot of code you
will write in the future will be running in a framwrok-like
environment (like Swing, or a servlet container) where other code is
responsible for actually calling your methods. Get used to that.
