The documentation for class java.awt.EventQueue
says nothing about event dispatch thread associated with this event queue.
It is unclear that the event posted to event queue
will be processed by dispatch thread asynchronously.
Besides it should be documented how the queue and event dispatch thread
work together.


Here is a minimized test:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class Test01 {

    public static void main (String[] args) {
        
        EventQueue queue = new EventQueue();
        Component c = new Panel();
        AWTEvent e = new ActionEvent(c, ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED, "COMMAND");
        queue.postEvent(e);
        try {
            Thread.sleep(10000);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
        AWTEvent result = queue.peekEvent();
        System.out.println("Event : " + e);
        System.out.println("Result: " + result);
        if (e.equals(result)) {
            System.out.println("OKAY");
        } else {
            System.out.println("FAILED");
        }
    }
}
