Bug 37

---- Reported by gkw 2003-09-07 19:09:45 ----

The stop method of Animator class calls wait() to block the current thread until
the animation thread is finished.  This doesn't work with GLJPanel since both
threads are the same, the event dispatch thread.  Halting the event dispatch
thread puts the app into a coma.

This fix works but I don't know how correct it is.
/** Stops this animator, blocking until the animation thread has
      finished. */
  public synchronized void stop() {
    shouldStop = true;
    if( EventQueue.isDispatchThread() ) {
			return;
		}
		while (shouldStop && thread != null) {
      try {
        wait();
      } catch (InterruptedException e) {
      }
    }
  }

Sorry for not commenting on this bug until now. The heuristic for whether the
Animator should wait or not was updated in a recent JOGL release, but not a lot
of debugging was done for the GLJPanel case. Some recent work on the GLJPanel
has required revisiting of some of these issues and a similar fix to the one
mentioned below was just checked in.
