I'm having issues updating a JLabel value using invokeLater. I have a separate method outside of the main function that runs invokeLater, but when I click the search button to update the value, it's not updating in the same instance of the gui. I have to relaunch the gui in eclipse to get the value to change. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong so any help is greatly appreciated. I'm running this method threadStart(); in the actionListener of the button. Here's the method
private void threadStart() {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
testLabel.setText(CN);
}
Here's the full class as a reference.
