Re: [JAI] using JAI to create a thumbnail as a JPEG
I can't find any documentation for the "imageread" operator. Is it bundled with the standard 1.4 SE distribution or is it something I have to add? If so, how do I add the ImageIO plugin to my JAI configuration and where can I find documentation for it? Thanks again for your response, I was incredulous about a newer API (JAI) not being able to do what an older one could do (ImageIO) - I figured they didn't want to make the effort when another API could already provide the functionality. — 

Re: swingWorker question (application decoupling)
The general approach is to build a framework around SwingWorker that minimizes the work involved in reusing it for diverse purposes. The main architectural goal is to decouple all the "domain logic" from the "ramework logic". Domain logic is the stuff inside doInBackground() and done(). Framework logic is the code that sends and receives progress updates, cancellations, etc. This involves defining a set of interfaces and abstract base classes for models that provide cancelable tasks or progress updates. The main design goal here is to minimize the complexity of writing models that offer cancelable tasks or progress updates. Some of this is already done in the concurrency framework (as the other poster has exaplined). — 

Updates from Hideya
Hello Community Members, sorry for the long absence -- I have been involved in an urgent company project (unfortunately not related to LG3D), which fully occupied me since around the end of last summer... I missed interactions with you folks a lot! Now, I'm wrapping it up, and at the same time, I'm changing my job. Actually, today is my last day working here at Sun. I just wanted to tell you folks that I will still keep myself involved in LG3D even after I moved to a new company (how nice LG3D being an opensource project!). I'm looking forward to seeing you folks again when I'm back once I get settled in the new place! —
