model view control & JProgressBar

hello,

I didn't understand to handle with the Progressbar.

For example when want to represent the download of a file:

I have a class TransferE (Entity), which does the transfer of the file

I have a class TransferUI (User Interface) for the user interface

I have a class TransferC (Control) between ui and entity

now how to update the progressbar?

The download need to run in an own Thread i think.

Do I have to run an extra Thread in the UI to get the status in a specified interval?

Or can I give the ProgressBar to the Entityclass as parameter, so that the bar will be updated in the entity's run()-method?

cheers

Tobias
