The java nodeos doesn't like regular java.lang.Threads executing its
functions, however, awt creates event handler threads through the
java.lang.Thread interface.  So a simple solution is just to create an
worker thread with Node.threadStart which will execute java nodeos
functions on behalf of the awt event handler thread.  So, basically, if
you need to send a capsule or something similar in the handler for a GUI
event, you just send a message to the thread started with Node.threadStart
and it sends the capsule.  Its a little convoluted, but it should work.
