The following line of code exists in java.awt.EventQueue.invokeAndWait
(Runnable):

        EventQueue queue = Toolkit.getEventQueue();

The reference to "queue" is never used in the rest of the method. This line
should be removed. Later on when the queue is needed, the call to
  Toolkit.getEventQueue() is used. Note that the line

        Toolkit.getEventQueue().postEvent(event);

is inside a synchronized block. Thus, if anyone were to ever use the local
queue reference from the first line, there may be some threading problems. So,
in order to avoid making the redundant call and to avoid confusion and thread
problems in the future, the line "EventQueue queue = Toolkit.getEventQueue();"
should be removed.
