for(int i=0;i<=100;i+=10){
jProgressBar1.setValue (i);
jProgressBar1.
Thread.sleep (500);
}
pls help me out

I'm not sure, but maybe you need to invoke the sleep method on the current thread, i.e. Thread.currentThread().sleep(500).

Timer timer = new Timer(1000, new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
progressbar.setValue(current+=10);
}
});
here time is in milliseconds i have start timer on button click event like timer.start();
from tht on progressbar starts working.

Hey thanx a lot. I got that stuff working. But how do i clear the progress bar, i mean when i want to upload another file i want that progress bar to go from 0% to 100% again.
Right now it only works when i do it first time and it shows 100%. How will reset that.
Thanx in advance!

To restart it just set the current value of the progress bar to zero and recreate the timer.
