Note that there are two standard timer implementations, java.util.Timer
and javax.swing.Timer. Whenever you use timers in Swing to update some
part of the GUI you almost always want the later one since it makes
callback from the event dispatcher thread.

If you really want to update a Swing component from the callback of a
java.util.TimerTask you must in general use something like
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater() to ensure Swing thread safety. See
javax.swing.Timer for documentation and links on all this.
