How to force JEditorPane to be refreshed?

Question

Dear all,
I've problem of refreshing JEditorPane using setPage( ) method.
I've written a simple JAVA browser with an analysing system. When a user clicks a hyperlink, the setPage( ) method will be called. Followed by the setPage( ) method, is another method, called method2, used to analyse the content of the page which will take several seconds to minutes to be finished.
The problem I have now is that, the new HTML page will be displayed only after method2 is finished. How to force the page to be displayed before running method2?
Thanks a lot.

Just to add - invokeLater will free up the swing thread so setPage completes in a timely manner but
StanislavL's example will run method2 on the swing thread also, just as a separate action
performed at a later time. This is good if method2 makes further calls to swing methods but it
does mean that the analysis will block the swing thread for however long it takes. If that's OK then fine, otherwise modify as:
pane.setPage(url);
Thread t = new Thread() {
  public void run() { method2(); };
t.start();Check out this [url http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/threads/threads1.html]article for further info.
