/**
|
|
* Task that can be run at a later time if given to a Timer.
|
|
* The TimerTask must implement a run method that will be called by the
|
|
* Timer when the task is scheduled for execution. The task can check when
|
|
* it should have been scheduled and cancel itself when no longer needed.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* Example:
|
|
* <pre>
|
|
* Timer timer = new Timer();
|
|
* TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {
|
|
* public void run() {
|
|
* if (this.scheduledExecutionTime() < System.currentTimeMillis() + 500)
|
|
* // Do something
|
|
* else
|
|
* // Complain: We are more then half a second late!
|
|
* if (someStopCondition)
|
|
* this.cancel(); // This was our last execution
|
|
* };
|
|
* timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(task, 1000, 1000); // schedule every second
|
|
* </pre>
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* Note that a TimerTask object is a one shot object and can only given once
|
|
* to a Timer. (The Timer will use the TimerTask object for bookkeeping,
|
|
* in this implementation).
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* This class also implements <code>Runnable</code> to make it possible to
|
|
* give a TimerTask directly as a target to a <code>Thread</code>.
|
|
*

* @see Timer
