button.addActionListener(actionListener);
frame.add(button, BorderLayout.CENTER);

■ Note Notice that the actionPerformed() method that shows the color chooser uses the

EventQueue.invokeLater() method to show the chooser. The current event handler needs to finish
before showing the chooser. Otherwise, the previous action event processing won't complete before the
chooser is shown.
