How do I catch a AWT-EventQueue-0
I am using the External Library SmartXLS whenever the trial version expires, I get the following message in my IDE:
Is there a way for me to catch that exception and prompt the user with a JOptionPane or something? I have tried a try/catch statement, but I cannot seem to catch it. Any thoughts?Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" ZI.CS: This trial version of SmartXLS has timed out.

Re: How do I catch a AWT-EventQueue-0
Have you tried to just catch it as a general Exception
try{ //do work }catch(Exception e){ //prompt for error }finally{ //final tasks if necessary }
Re: How do I catch a AWT-EventQueue-0
I usually always use general Exceptions.
Where specifically should I put it? I attempted to put it around my main (figured the more vague the better) and I attempted to put it around the area where I use the library elements but both failed to catch it.

Re: How do I catch a AWT-EventQueue-0
Ah, that last bit of information sheds some light on the subject. If you are calling this from main, and the library starts another thread (eg, an AWT thread in that it uses some sort of GUI), then that is why you can't catch it (the exception is thrown after the function call exits). Not sure of a quick solution off the top of my head.
Re: How do I catch a AWT-EventQueue-0
Actually I have my GUI elements and most of my program in a class called GUI. In the GUI class, I use the library.
My main just says:
public static void main(String[] args) { new Gui(); }

Re: How do I catch a AWT-EventQueue-0
Doesn't matter...I'm assuming the Exception is being thrown on the EDT. So when you call a function from the library it places an event into the EDT queue and the called method exits, exiting your try/catch block successfully. The EDT continues until the queue reaches the libraries functions, at which point it'll run and throw an exception. This is my assumption based upon the info provided.
Re: How do I catch a AWT-EventQueue-0
So is there anything that can be done about that (it is probably a moot point now since my company may just buy the library, but it good to know for the future).
