Re: call a method at intervals

Hi!

I made an applet in one class.
Now I would like to call two of the methods in a certain timeinterval.
Something like javascript's setInterval("method()", milliseconds);

The one method has to run every minute and the other on every fifth
minute.
Is that possible without making more classes? and how?

THere are various ways to do this:
One is using the swing Timer Class. Another way is to create a new thread and point it to a class that implements the Runnable interface.
There are howtos on both of these techniques on the sun website tutorials section.
