swing (no flames plz)

[renanse]

In another posting, OrangyTang mentions you can use Swing/AWT next to a LWJGL window.  I'd like to do this to make a quick user interface for changing the properties of an element in my lwjgl program.  I have one spawning, but it looks like lwjgl might be holding onto the thread that would update and get activity in that interface.

Any suggestions on how to get that interface to respond?  Perhaps some way in the loop of the lwjgl program to have that frame update?
