Timer inside a Thread is not working!

[Yohan Weerasinghe]

Hello all,

Here I am trying to execute a timer inside a thread. But that is not working. Here is my code

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import javax.swing.Timer;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class JustCheck extends JFrame {

    JLabel label1;
    Timer timer1=null;

    forTime f = new forTime();

    public JustCheck()
    {
        label1 = new JLabel("");


        timer1 = new Timer(1000,f);
        timer1.start();



        JPanel panel1 = (JPanel)getContentPane();
        panel1.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        panel1.add(label1);
    }

    class forTime extends Thread implements ActionListener
    {

        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
        {
            this.start();
        }

        public void run()
        {
                    Date date1 = new Date();
        SimpleDateFormat format1 = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
        String out = format1.format(date1);
        label1.setText(out);
        }
    }


    public static void main(String[]args)
    {
        JustCheck j = new JustCheck();
        j.setVisible(true);
        j.validate();
        j.setSize(150,150);
        
    }


}

Please help
