Multi-touch in java

Question

Hi,
I am trying to build a project with multi-touch capabilities using java. I did some research and thought mt4j is promising.
But now I find it difficult to design a page with swing radio buttons and buttons etc., I want to use swing components such as Radio buttons with mt4j framework but I couldn't accomplish it.
Can you please let me know if there is a way to develop a multi touch application in java using swing alone or any other good way of developing multi-touch features .

how can we pass arguments to the run ()method?Create classes which implement Runnable that take your runtime parameters as constructor arguments and store them.
eg: if your single thread method is   static void foo (int quantity, String name) {
    for (int i=0; i<quantity; i++) {
      System.out.println(name);
// caller code
  foo(7, "wombats");Then you can make a runnable implementation thus:public class Foo implements Runnable {
  final int quantity_;
  final String name_;
  public Foo (int quantity, String name) {
    quantity_ = quantity;
    name_ = name;
  public void run () {
    for (int i=0; i<quantity_; i++) {
      System.out.println(name_);
// caller code
  new Thread(new Foo(7, "wombats")).start();
You could overload this method to take parameters in
your class that implements the Runnable interface,
and then call the base run() method.I don't get what you mean by this; Runnable is an interface so there is no base class run() method, and a run() overloaded with extra parameters method wouldn't get called by the thread.
