Occasional InterruptedException when quitting a Swing application
- by Joonas Pulakka
I recently updated my computer to a more powerful one, with a quad-core hyperthreading processor (i7), thus plenty of real concurrency available. Now I'm occasionally getting the following error when quitting (System.exit(0)) an application (with a Swing GUI) that I'm developing:
Exception while removing reference: java.lang.InterruptedException
java.lang.InterruptedException
at java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method)
at java.lang.ref.ReferenceQueue.remove(ReferenceQueue.java:118)
at java.lang.ref.ReferenceQueue.remove(ReferenceQueue.java:134)
at sun.java2d.Disposer.run(Disposer.java:125)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
Well, given that it started to happen with a more concurrency-capable hardware, and it has to do with threads, and it happens occasionally, it's obviously some kind of timing thing. But the problem is that the stack trace is so short. All I have is the listing above. It doesn't include my own code at all, so it's somewhat hard to guess where the bug is.
Has anyone experienced something like this before? Any ideas how to start solving it?
