Just saw your example - this is also *not* what you are supposed to do.  
Make sure that you update the progress bar from your second thread so 
that it places the update request in the event thread's queue.  Check out 
the SwingUtilities.invokeLater() method.

Otherwise, another window (or some other [paint event) will end up 
deadlocking you.
