Getting java.lang.IllegalStateException: This must happen in the event thread!, when disabling an action

I got it to work by creating a new method like this


>     public void setActive(final boolean state){
>             SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
>                 @Override
>                 public void run() {
>                     enabled = state;
>                     firePropertyChange("enabled", !enabled, enabled);
>                 }
>             });
>     }


Was there any better way to do it?
