Which timer are you going to use? There are two. The recommended one is javax.swing.Timer.
Read the class's API doc. It has an example.
Or go to: The Really Big Index
and search for Timer

i dont need swing timer..
I am looking to run a system clock type timer in a thread and once elapsed it sets a flag which is read in another thread.
any easy solution /commands??
Re: how to set timer
You can get the system time from a method in the System class.
None of the timers I know of set a flag. They call a method when the time expires. It is up to the programmer to write code to do what he wants to do when the time expires.
