How to determine whether Swing has been initialised?

[rcasha]

I need a way to determine whether Swing has been initialised (ie, whether the code is running in the context of a Swing application as opposed to console), WITHOUT causing Swing to initialise itself if not. This is to determine eg. whether it is appropriate to use SwingUtilities.invokeLater as opposed to a normal executor to run some code.

Last I checked, java-forums.org was not oracle.com.

Stop trolling

Last I checked, cross posting wasn't multi-posting.

There's nothing wrong with cross-posting, but it is considered poor form to cross-post in any programming forum without notifying all involved threads. This is plain common courtesy.

Not a strong point of our OP, as evinced in the remarks posted on the other forum.

I had no idea that the two sites were frequented by the same people, nor whether I would get a solution in either one. I occasionally post a query on more than one site, then if a solution is offered on one of them, I post it on the other in case someone else comes upon the question. I generally consider cross-posting to mean creating multiple threads in different messageboards on the SAME site.
