How to generate exceptions from RepaintManager

In connection with my question (may be), I found another exception type that I not able to catch and print-out from SwingWorker thread.

How can I to generate RepaintManager exceptions?

I read this CheckThreadViolationRepaintManager and this approach by Alexander Potochkin, but nothing seems to solve my issues.

Answer

If it helps, the example below throws prints multiple variations of the following Exception, mostly for each phase of the frame’s UI delegate initialization. I used CheckThreadViolationRepaintManager, but the AspectJ variation looks interesting, too.
