I am using a jTree and I'd like to set the cursor to WAIT_CURSOR when a node
is selected (I build the tree on the fly due to the number of nodes
possible).

Here's the code snippet

   void tree_valueChanged(TreeSelectionEvent e)
   {
      tree.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
      System.out.println("The cursor is "+tree.getCursor());
      updateTheTree();
    //  tree.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
// commented out to verify that cursor is set.
   }


I find that the cursor does not get set until AFTER the updateTheTree()
method even though the printout states that the cursor is a WAIT_CURSOR.
Any suggestions on how to force an update on the cursor so I don't have to
wait until the event is completed?
