System.out.println("the previous text");
try {
Thread.sleep(desired_delay_in_milliseconds);
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
System.out.println("This may be premature, but:");
}
System.out.println("certain text");

In other words, you'll get no better answer today than you did
three days ago unless you explain your situation more clearly.

Yes.

System.out.println("the previous text");

try {

Thread.sleep(desired_delay_in_milliseconds);

} catch (InterruptedException ex) {

System.out.println("This may be premature, but:");

}

System.out.println("certain text");

Maybe, but he insisted that he's talking about lines of text, so probably not.

It's not clear, and given that he already asked this question and got advice, and
opened up a new thread and provided no further clarification or elaboration,
one wonders if it's even worth the bother to address the question.

There is always a delay after displaying text. This delay is provided
free of charge to you by the inherent latency in the JVM and the
operating system.

you would create a timer that did a setText with different text on
each trigger.

See the code for SetClock. It updates the time periodically.

There are four possible ways to poke a card into a slot.
Nearly always, only one way works. To me that betrays a
Fascist mentality, demanding customers conform to some
arbitrary rule, and hassling them to discover the magic
orientation. The polite way to do it is to design the reader
slot so that all four ways work, or so that all the customer
has to do is put the card in the vicinity of the reader.
