UI Thread

Event Dispatch Thread

The Event Dispatch Thread is responsible for handling and dispatching all UI events in a swing application. The Main thread is the primary thread responsible for executing the main method in a java application. The UI Thread can refer to the Event Dispatch Thread, but it can also refer to any other thread created for handling UI tasks. The Swing Worker thread is used for executing long-running tasks in the background while ensuring the UI remains responsive.
