I need to have something in my program refreshed every 2 seconds. I have done threads a really long time ago, and I can't remember how to create this simple thread. What's the simplest way?
Thanks alot!!

Kate,

For running something every 2 sec u dont need a therad, look at java.util.Timer

You can also check a tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/threads/index.html
