title: How to auto refresh gui screen in java, after update taking place in a stored file?
body: <p>I have a java swing application which reads the values for its components from a .text file. I'm trying to update one of its value and store it in .text file and then need a refresh possibly in the GUI screen as well. Value is modified in the file but GUI could not detect the change without a restart. I have went through repaint(), re-validate() with the use of timers. Can anyone specify what i could do? Thanks in advance.</p>
