A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
You known, the invokeLater/invokieAndWait in javax.swing.SwingUtilities is just a wrapper of java.awt.EventQueue. But the java doc for the codes is in inconsistent:

in SwingUtilities
----------------------
    /**
     * Causes <i>doRun.run()</i> to be executed asynchronously on the
     * AWT event dispatching thread. ...
     */
    public static void invokeLater(Runnable doRun) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(doRun);
    }


    /**
     * Causes <code>doRun.run()</code> to be executed synchronously on the
     * AWT event dispatching thread. ...
     */
    public static void invokeAndWait(final Runnable doRun)
        throws InterruptedException, InvocationTargetException
    {
EventQueue.invokeAndWait(doRun);
    }


one is asynchronously, another is synchronously.



in EventQueue
---------------------

    /**
     * @param runnable the <code>Runnable</code> whose <code>run</code>
     * method should be executed
     * synchronously on the <code>EventQueue</code>
     */
    public static void invokeLater(Runnable runnable) {
        Toolkit.getEventQueue().postEvent(
            new InvocationEvent(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(), runnable));
    }

    /**
     * @param runnable the <code>Runnable</code> whose <code>run</code>
     * method should be executed
     * synchronously on the <code>EventQueue</code>
     */
    public static void invokeAndWait(Runnable runnable)
             throws InterruptedException, InvocationTargetException {


Two are synchronously now.




REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
