change component in listener

Thread view:

I have a JEditorPane and an associated CaretListener.
I'd like to change the text of the JEditorPane when some condition in the
CaretListener is met.
This gives an Exception, not to mutate from within a Listener.
How can you solve this?

thanx
nidi

You make the changes from wrong thread.
Do it thru SwingUtilities.invokeLater();
