<AWT Dev> Endless loop in EventDispatchThread - proposed solution

[Clemens Eisserer]

Hi Artem,


The full patch also looks OK. Yesterday I thought in exactly the same
> direction and here is my observation. EDT.pumpEventsForFilters(id) can
> return the "false" value only if the thread is interrupted or stopped
> (ThreadDeath is caught). Therefore when the pumpEvents() call in EDT.run()
> exits, "shutdown" is always true. That's why I wrote about detaching the
> event dispatch thread unconditionally in my previous email.

Ah, sorry I missed the point in my first email.
Jep, this would make the code cleaner, I'll update my patch.

Thanks, Clemens
