What steps will reproduce the problem?

I am trying to use Sikuli stand alone in Java swing. When i was calling the sikuli java api directly i was getting an exception. After doing some google i found that i need to use the apis in thread. So i created a seperate thread for each sikuli api like click and type and used it in bloacking queue. When i call the new type functions say TypeAction by clicking a button in java swing the function stops abruptly in the sikuli type function. I dont get any exception or error. When i call the new TypeAction function via main() the entire function works as expected. In the new TypeAction function i search of nearby 50px region and then click and type. For click i use the first argument of sikuli's type function.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Type api works as expected

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
RC3

Please provide any additional information below.
