Pausing in Java

[Sharp]

Hi

What class allows you to pause a Java application for any specified number
of seconds/minutes?

Cheers

Please specify what you mean by "pausing a Java application".

Can we assume that the obvious Thread.sleep(long) is not what
you are looking for?

I want to test the JProgressBar out.
I want to see the bars move to the end.
Using Thread.sleep() should do it

Have you looked at the same applications that come with the JDK? It
has a demo (and source) for using the JProgressBar. (In the JDK
directory, demo\jfc\SwingSet2\)

Go here for the source of another JProgressBar example:

a) You cannot pause for a specified amount of time. (You can only tell a
thread to step out of the running state for a specified period of time - the
point at which the scheduler puts that thread into the running state is
completely indeterminate)
b) "pausing" in the event dispatch thread implies a poor user interface
(try it and see).
