junit.extensions.jfcunit.JFCTestCasein the AWT testing stuff of JUnit? I think the Javadocs are pretty clear:pauseAWT: Pause the awt event queue until it is released byreleaseAWT()or the end of the test is reached.awtSleep: w/o argument: Suspends the test for up to a maximum period of time, and allows the AWT Thread to resume temporarily / w/ argument: Suspends the test for up to the specified (maximum) period of time, and allows the AWT Thread to resume temporarily.So, the first pauses the AWT thread, the second pauses the test and allows the AWT thread to resume. Bear in mind that AWT operates in a separate thread, commonly called the EDT (Event Dispatch Thread). It looks like you would use these two methods in tandem to ensure a replicable state for testing.
