Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2006-07-18 06:26:04 EDT 
When SystemRegistry.postEvent() is called from a Worker thread, an SWTException:invalid thread access happens. To reproduce the problem, uncomment corresponding code in DaytimeSubSytem.initializeSubSystem().

SystemRegistry.postEvent() should work from any thread, API doc should document this.

I think the bug is either in 
  SystemView.getShell()
where the underlying SWT tree is asked for the shell, or in 
  SystemPostableEventNotifier.SystemPostableEventNotifier()
where the Display is obtained from the Listener, instead of just taking Display.getDefault().

I've changed this to use Display.getDefault();

[target cleanup] 1.0 M4 was the original target milestone for this bug
