Hi Martin
It's not very clear to me what are you trying to achieve.
From your code ,I see that you are trying to print something in another execution thread(because your implements Runnable).
You don't need to show a java button in a bean area.
you can simply use a class wich extends oracle.forms.ui.VBean.. The bean_Area should have the implementation class setted to your class.
The comunication between the any push_buttton from Forms,and your Vbean can be done through set_custom_property,get_custom_property Forms built_ins.
This way,you can use the push_button from Forms like ussual,and implement in java any custom action you need.
