Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`void`	`addErrorListener(EasyThread.ErrorListener err)` Adds a callback for error events, notice that this code isn't thread safe and should be invoked synchronously.
`static void`	`addGlobalErrorListener(EasyThread.ErrorListener err)` Adds a callback for error events, notice that this code isn't thread safe and should be invoked synchronously.
`boolean`	`isThisIt()` Returns true if the current thread is the easy thread and false othewise similar to the isEDT method

`static void`	`removeGlobalErrorListener(EasyThread.ErrorListener err)` Removes a callback for error events, notice that this code isn't thread safe and should be invoked synchronously.
`void`	`run(Runnable r)` Runs the given runnable on the thread, the method returns immediately
`<T> void`	`run(RunnableWithResult<T> r, SuccessCallback<T> t)` Runs the given object asynchronously on the thread and returns the result object
`<T> T`	`run(RunnableWithResultSync<T> r)` Runs the given runnable on the thread and blocks until it completes, returns the value object
`void`	`runAndWait(Runnable r)` Invokes the given runnable on the thread and waits for its execution to complete

  - run
```
public <T> void run(RunnableWithResult<T> r,
                    SuccessCallback<T> t)
```
    Runs the given object asynchronously on the thread and returns the result object
    
    Parameters:
    
    r - runs this method
    
    t - object is passed to the success callback
  - run
```
public void run(Runnable r)
```
    Runs the given runnable on the thread, the method returns immediately
    
    Parameters:
    
    r - the runnable
  - run
```
public <T> T run(RunnableWithResultSync<T> r)
```
    Runs the given runnable on the thread and blocks until it completes, returns the value object
    
    Parameters:
    
    r - the runnable with result that will execute on the thread
    
    Returns:
    
    value returned by r
  - runAndWait
```
public void runAndWait(Runnable r)
```
    Invokes the given runnable on the thread and waits for its execution to complete
    
    Parameters:
    
    r - the runnable
  - kill
```
public void kill()
```
    Stops the thread once the current task completes
  - isThisIt
```
public boolean isThisIt()
```
    Returns true if the current thread is the easy thread and false othewise similar to the isEDT method
    
    Returns:
    
    true if we are currently within this easy thread
  - addErrorListener
```
public void addErrorListener(EasyThread.ErrorListener err)
```
    Adds a callback for error events, notice that this code isn't thread safe and should be invoked synchronously. This method must never be invoked from within the resulting callback code!
    
    Parameters:
    
    err - the error callback
  - removeErrorListener
```
public void removeErrorListener(EasyThread.ErrorListener err)
```
    Removes a callback for error events, notice that this code isn't thread safe and should be invoked synchronously. This method must never be invoked from within the resulting callback code!
    
    Parameters:
    
    err - the error callback
  - addGlobalErrorListener
```
public static void addGlobalErrorListener(EasyThread.ErrorListener err)
```
    Adds a callback for error events, notice that this code isn't thread safe and should be invoked synchronously. This method must never be invoked from within the resulting callback code!
    
    Parameters:
    
    err - the error callback
  - removeGlobalErrorListener
```
public static void removeGlobalErrorListener(EasyThread.ErrorListener err)
```
    Removes a callback for error events, notice that this code isn't thread safe and should be invoked synchronously. This method must never be invoked from within the resulting callback code!
    
    Parameters:
    
    err - the error callback
