Event Thread question when using fire... methods.

Thread view:

Can I call a fireTable*** method anywhere in my code to update/repaint my
JTables, or should I only call it from the event thread (within a listener
method)? If I call it outside the event thread, will the resulting listener
calls (tableChanged) be executed in the event thread?

Thanks
B.E.

Last time I looked at the implementation (you might want to do this,
too), there was no code for doing anything specific for threads. The
listeners were called from the same thread that was used to invoke the
fire... method.
