start gui and configurator issues

Hi,

first of all I wish I'm in the right mailing list :-)

then, here is my problem: I'm creating a simple chat software using 
jxta. I have created the gui using Java Studio 8.

by now I had 2 files: ChatGui.java and ChatPeer.java. so to reflect the 
MVC, the gui own a "private ChatPeer hello;"  wich is instantiated in 
the ChatGui constructor .

Here is a code cut:

*** start code
public class ChatGui extends javax.swing.JFrame {
    private ChatPeer hello;
    /** Creates new form ChatGui */
    public ChatGui() {
        hello = new ChatPeer();
       
        initComponents();
    }

public static void main(String args[]) {
       
        java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                new ChatGui().setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }
*** end of code

well, when I try this I obtain this error:

<FATAL 2006-05-19 11:54:58,363 
DefaultConfigurator::getPlatformConfig:219> The JXTA AWT Configuration 
Dialog cannot be run from the event dispatch thread. It's modal nature 
is fundamentally incompatible with running on the event dispatch thread. 
Either change to a different Configurator via 
PeerGroupFactory.setConfiguratorClass() or start JXTA from the 
application main Thread before starting your GUI via invokeLater().
Java Result: 1

So my solution is to put "hello = new ChatPeer();" in the main, befor 
initialising the gui, but for doing this, I have to set ChatPeer hello 
as static:

private static ChatPeer hello;

Is this a good solution or ther is another, better way, I can't see??

p.s.
Obviously I cannot use myJxta since is a university test ;-)
