Should we use EventQueue.invokeLater for any GUI update in a Java desktop application?

Viewed 20149

I know that by using this method, the runnable parameter is submitted to the system EventQueue. But should all GUI updates be done this using this method? I mean, if i want to say, change a text of JButton, should i use something like this:

java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
         jButton1.setText("changed text");
      }
});

If i should use this approach, any pattern we can use to avoid this repetitive code?
