Invetigation in Process 1: JOptionPane DTs

It seems that we can popup a JOptionPane from a background thread in a SwingWorker without the sky falling in. "But why?"

Ps. The title of this series, "Invetigation in process" comes from an episode of The Office when "Gareth Keenan Investigates!" but mispels "investigate" on his makeshift sign which for his "office." Heh heh. Hee hee. He He. Hmm.

• There is a bug (not sure whether it is fixed in 6.0 or not) that makes showing internal JOptionPane from non-EDT thread impossible.

• I'm not sure that showing a JOptionPane outside EDT is a goot idea,
  if you have a JTable behind JOptionPane, showing it causes a JTable repaint, wich is not sinchronized, (like mostly swing components, except JTextField) producing race-conditions. I did it in my project and debugging it was so difficult because the attached listeners to the model !!!

  Maybe I'm wrong...

  Thanks for your great code !!!
