Specifying Event Queue for EventQueue.invokeAndWait().

Question

Javadoc says EventQueue.invokeAndWait(Runnable runnable) / invokeLater are static methods causing the Runnable executed in the system event queue thread. But I found that my applet appli. running under IE has 3 event dispatching threads AWT-EventQueue-0, AWT-EventQueue-1 and AWT-EventQueue-2. The system event queue (the one returned by Toolkit.getSystemEventQueue() ) is inside AWT-EventQueue-0 but by testing my applet's event queue should be in AWT-EventQueue-2.
My question is, is it possible to specify which event queue's thread to run the Runnable? Since I found that the 3 event dispatching threads are of different thread groups and only the AWT-EventQueue-2 is in the same thread group as my applet and I want my Runnable to be in the same thread group of my applet thread. The thread groups of the 3 dispatching threads are :
    Thread[] threads=new Thread[100];
    int threadsReturned=Thread.enumerate(threads);
    for (int i=0; i<threadsReturned ; i++) {
        System.out.println("thread name:" + threads);
System.out.println("thread group class name:" + threads[i].getThreadGroup().getClass().getName()) ;
System.out.println("thread group name:" + threads[i].getThreadGroup().getName());
