There already are Timer classes in Java SE. Have you looked at them?
Here's the link to the API doc:

If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

Yes, as Norm states, there are several Timer classes available. What you first must do is figure out the requirements for your project, then break it down into separate steps and then solve each step one at a time. When/if you get stuck at a step, come back here with your code and question, and we can usually help.

The Java language libraries include a "swing timer", which lets you add a countdown timer on your Java forms. You set up the timer's properties such as the amount of time that passes before a function triggers. The timer continually runs, so you can trigger a function continuously in your application. Each time the countdown time is reached, the function runs and you reset the timer countdown to start over.
