How do you utilize timers in Java?

Question

How does one create a java timer which functions similar to the setInterval() feature in javascript?

I would to have example() called every 10 seconds until a while loop condition is satisfied in the calling method. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

After researching the timer object, this is the answer I've come up with:

import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;

public class Example{

public static void main(String[]args){
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask(){
public void run(){
// Execute example code here
}
}, 0, 10000);
}
}

Answer 2

Timer t = new Timer();

I forget the parameters.. Google Java Timer()
