jProgressBar with Threads for Database data Insertion

I'm trying to implement a JprogressBar to show the data insertion progress.
Basically the user select how many data sources will be imported to database.
With this parameter the main program Start a method to list those parameters and with a foreach loop it calls the insertion Thread and the ProgressBar update Thread.
for (Maquina i : m.listar()) {
//Passing to Import Thread the object with the data and a Date parameter
ImportarDados imp = new ImportarDados(i, jDateInicial.getDate());
//Calling progress bar update Thread with the progressbar itself and progress parameter
BarraDeProgresso bp = new BarraDeProgresso(progresso, progImportacao);
imp.run();
bp.run();
}
The threads kinda work on their own, but the result is not the one I want, cause the data is being imported and the progressbar is being updated, but it is being update to 100% after all data is imported. I need to update the progress bar as long as the import thread finish the importation for each (Maquina i) object.
If it is necessary I can provide the threads code...but i don't know if this calling method can provide the result I want. Searching on the forum i found something about EDT and i think it is the problem that the bar is not being updated. Can you guys help me solving this?
Minimal and Verifiable example:
My code is pretty short. The code generated by netbeans is huge, sry for that.
That code simulate my problem. The windows is refreshed only after the for loop is finished. But the BarraDeProgresso thread is running at the same as and SysOut some info...

Your current code creates no background thread. Yes you've got Runnables, but you call run() on them, meaning you are calling them on the Swing event thread. When you do this, you block the event thread, effectively freezing your program. Instead, you need to:
Create a true background thread by passing your Runnable into a Thread object's constructor and calling start() on that Thread.
Not mutate Swing components from within these background threads
Or use a SwingWorker as per the Lesson: Concurrency in Swing which will help solve both of the above issues.
For an example of use of a SwingWorker, please see:

The thing is that i don't know how to delete the messages when the Resume Consumers is pressed
You add an ActionListener to the button. In the ActionListener you reset the text. See the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Us Buttons for more information and examples. Or, there is also a section on How to Write an ActionListener.
You can replace the text in the text field by using:
textField.setText(...);

Example #1 (Requires Java 8+):
button.addActionListener(e -> textField.setText(""));
Example #2:
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
textField.setText("");
}
});
In both cases, the textField will need to have been declared as final.

Hit the add button twice you'll get 2 TABS not when I maximize it "Add TAB" moved to Middle and Textareas are in top.
I want jTextAtrea1 to expand till the bottom of the page during maximize and restore to actual size during toggle.

I want jTextAtrea1 to expand till the bottom of the page during maximize
Sounds like you should be using a BorderLayout for the panel you add to the tab. Then you add the text area to the BorderLayout.CENTER and the other components to the BorderLayout.NORTH.
It looks like your layout code is generated by an IDE. Don't use the IDE to generate layout code. Do the layout yourself and you will be in full control.

but is not working

Some time ago, I've written a framework for such tasks. Maybe you find it useful (the library is Open Source):
Tutorial:
http://softsmithy.sourceforge.net/lib/current/docs/tutorial/swing/customizer/index.html
Javadoc:
http://softsmithy.sourceforge.net/lib/current/docs/api/softsmithy-lib-swing-customizer/index.html
Info about the latest release:
http://puces-blog.blogspot.ch/2013/11/news-from-software-smithy-version-04.html

There's no need to put a MouseAdapter within an already defined Listener. In fact, you're simply declaring one and not using it in any way. Simply keep it inside the dragged event.
Like this. You can adapt it to the calculations you need to do.
private void jPanel1MouseDragged(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
jPanel1.setLocation(evt.getXOnScreen(), evt.getYOnScreen());
}

How to insert my own code to Netbeans Gui Builder?

I found on the Web code: http://java-sl.com/tip_autoreplace_smiles.html which I edited to my own needs, take a look:
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.RenderingHints;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.DocumentEvent;
import javax.swing.event.DocumentListener;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
public class Emotes extends JEditorPane {
public Emotes() {
super();
this.setEditorKit(new StyledEditorKit());
this.initListener();
}
private void replace (String text, StyledDocument doc, ImageIcon icon, int start, String what) throws BadLocationException
{
int i = text.indexOf(what);
while(i >= 0)
{
final SimpleAttributeSet attrs = new SimpleAttributeSet(doc.getCharacterElement(start+i).getAttributes());
if (StyleConstants.getIcon(attrs) == null)
{
StyleConstants.setIcon(attrs, icon);
doc.remove(start+i, what.length());
doc.insertString(start+i,what, attrs);
}
i = text.indexOf(what, i+what.length());
}
}
private void initListener() {
getDocument().addDocumentListener(new DocumentListener(){
#Override
public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent event) {
final DocumentEvent e=event;
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
if (e.getDocument() instanceof StyledDocument) {
try {
StyledDocument doc=(StyledDocument)e.getDocument();
int start= Utilities.getRowStart(Emotes.this,Math.max(0,e.getOffset()-1));
int end=Utilities.getWordStart(Emotes.this,e.getOffset()+e.getLength());
String text=doc.getText(start, end-start);
replace(text, doc, createEmoticon("wink.png"), start, ";)");
replace(text, doc, createEmoticon("wink.png"), start, "<wink>");
replace(text, doc, createEmoticon("sad.png"), start, ":(");
replace(text, doc, createEmoticon("sad.png"), start, "<sad>");
replace(text, doc, createEmoticon("smile.png"), start, ":)");
replace(text, doc, createEmoticon("smile.png"), start, "<smile>");
} catch (BadLocationException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
});
}
#Override
public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
}
#Override
public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
}
});
}
static ImageIcon createEmoticon(String icon)
{
BufferedImage img = null;
try
{
img = ImageIO.read(new File(icon));
Graphics g = img.getGraphics();
((Graphics2D)g).setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
}catch (IOException ex)
{
}
return new ImageIcon(img);
}
}
which works great. But I created in Netbeans a new GUI (JDialog Window) with JEditorPane on it, where I want to use this feature on JDialog window:
but it doesnt want to work at all. When I type ":)" its not changing in an image.
Just try to run that code:
public class NewJDialog extends javax.swing.JDialog {
/** Creates new form NewJDialog */
public NewJDialog(java.awt.Frame parent, boolean modal) {
super(parent, modal);
