The following article may provide insight:

I'm sure there are other examples; try Googling

   swing worker thread examples progress dialog

Here's one hit:

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your suggestion. I do not need a progress dialog. I just want to 
use a real simple splash screen to display some text while the java 
application is loading.
I tried JDialog and JWindow; however, I can not get the text to display on 
the contentPane unless I set the setModal to true, which it's kind of 
defeating the purpose.

Once I set the setModal to true, it takes over the current process thread. 
It will not continue until I manuall close the dialog.

Am I missing something here? Please take a look at the following code snip.


thanks,

Tom

code snip:

        String status = "Loading... Please wait...";
        JDialog jwin = new JDialog();
        JPanel jpanel = new JPanel();
        jpanel.add(
            new JLabel("Now Loading...",
                SwingConstants.CENTER));

        jpanel.setVisible(true);
        jwin.getContentPane().add(jpanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);


       //jwin.setModal(true); /* visible only if enabled */
        jwin.setTitle(status);
        jwin.setResizable(false);
        jwin.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
        jwin.setBounds(400, 400, 250, 1

       //Loading application here...
        jwin.setVisible(false);
        jwin.dispose();

Yes, you are missing exactly what was discussed in those
articles.  Please take the time to look at them.  All
you have to do is apply the principle in those articles.
The only difference is that you are not changing the text.
Conceptually it's the same whether there's dynamic update
or not.  It's a threading issue, and those articles will
prime your thinking to deal with it correctly.

I think you probably need to set your dialog visible and not the JPanel. 
i.e. jwin.setVisible(true) after adding the JPanel.

I found a very nice FREE API for JFC/Swing that solves my problem. It's 
called Foxtrot.
