com.bc.ceres.swing.debug.EventDispatchThreadHangMonitor
Monitors the AWT event dispatch thread for events that take longer than
a certain time to be dispatched.
The principle is to record the time at which we start processing an event, and have another thread check frequently to see if we're still processing. If the other thread notices that we've been processing a single event for too long, it prints a stack trace showing what the event dispatch thread is doing, and continues to time it until it finally finishes.
This is useful in determining what code is causing your Java application's GUI to be unresponsive.
