JEditorPane locking the process instead of the thread its in.

Question

Im sorry for the link to the JRE forum but it is needed to understand where my problem now lies.
I did manage to make my program work in multiple processes to stop my JEditorPane waiting for the InputStream from locking up the whole process. Well it still locks up the process, just its own process instead of every windows open at once. That works, but it's just a bad fix, now I need a real one.
From what baftos told me in the thread I linked, the problem would be coming from the Swing. How can I make my JFrame that as a JEditor inside it waiting for another program's output wait without having every other JFrames wait as well?
Like I said in the thread i linked, I did make sure my JFrames would start in different threads and the Eclipse debugger does show it starts a new threads when I open my new window.

Answer 1

I just got done testing the method prigas suggested but it still locks up the wole process instead of just the thread.
Here is the code of the button i used to test it.
     private JButton setButtonsAction(JButton bt,final int progNumber)
          bt.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
                    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                         new Thread(new Runnable()
                              public void run()
                                   new Initializer(progs.getProgramsList()[progNumber]);
                         ).start();
          );//Close addActionListener
          return bt;

Try to read this article which helps in understanding concurrency in Swing Text; it uses JEditorPane to display a web page by using different threads without affecting the UI of other component. I have not got the chance to look at the sample example but I will look at it tommorrow
