title: Can you call an action event in java without an action
body: <p>I was wondering if you can have an action event in java occur when no action has taken place. What I mean is tricking it into thinking an action has occured when it has not and then running an action event. The reason I ask this is because it would seem like an easy run around to update things that run on the event dispatch thread without an actual event to occur. Let me know if any of you have heard about this. Thanks,</p>
