Java Swing Time

[abhinav parankusham]

hi,
I have been looking for code to insert clock time into jframe and it should not change when system time is changed...
Can you help me.....

Well, what you can do is get System.currentTimeMillis() and System.nanoTime() at the start of your application. Let's call the first one "time" and the second one "start".

If at any point during the execution of your application you want to know the current time, call System.nanoTime() and subtract "start" from it. The result is the amount of nano-seconds since "time". Neither of these values is subject to changing the system clock.

I'm sure you can figure out what to do with those values from there. If you run into troubles, tell us what you have tried and we'll see if we can help you out some more.

Since that uses the system time, it appears to me that it will change

when system time is changed...

(No, I'm not about to start playing with my system time setting to confirm that )

Or not. I just read the API more minutely.
