invokeLater(), createGUI()

[henri henri]

I want to us the createGUI() method to avoid GUI deadlocks in my Swing code. I am unsure if I should wrap the GUI code in the createGUI() method WITHIN the init() method, or do away with the init() method of my Applet and simply wrap the GUI with the createGUI() method.

  public void init() {
        status_keywords = new TreeSet();   
        ochre = new Color(238, 232, 170);
        img = this.getImage(getDocumentBase(), "ActiveBeans.jpg");
