How to pass data to Platform.runLater

Question

I need to change the title of my GUI window based on the socket data received in the socket receiver thread. I want to know is there a way to pass variables like int , long etc. to Platform.runLater , in order to avoid mutex locks just for accessing an int variable. This is a sample code:

// Receiver Socket thread
int opnMode = byteBuffer.getInt();

Platform.runLater(() -> { //GUI thread
    ((Stage) Fx.Pane.getScene().getWindow()).setTitle("Operation mode " + " (" + opnMode + ")");
});

In the above code I'm using the variable opnMode without using mutex as it is being accessed by two threads.

Your code should work just fine as it is because your int is effectively final. Here is a discussion of this issue: https://www.baeldung.com/java-effectively-final
