/**
 * An abstract class that you subclass to perform GUI-related work
 * in a dedicated thread.
 * <p>
 * This class was adapted from the SwingWorker written by Hans Muller
 * and presented in "Using a Swing Worker Thread" in the Swing Connection
 * - http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/threads/threads2.html
 * <p>
 * A closely related version of this class is described in
 * "The Last Word in Swing Threads" in the Swing Connection
 * - http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/threads/threads3.html
 * <p>
 * This SwingWorker is a ThreadFactoryUser and implements Runnable. The
 * default thread factory creates low-priority worker threads. A special
 * constructor is provided for enabling a timeout. When the timeout
 * expires, the worker thread is interrupted.
 * <p>
 * Note: Using a timeout of <code>Long.MAX_VALUE</code> will not impose a
 * timeout but will create an additional thread of control that will respond
 * to an interrupt even if the <code>construct</code> implementation ignores
 * them.
 * <p>
