I'm new to Threads and for an example to get me going.
Can someone give example code
I would like the method below to run every five minutes.

public void showTime()
{
Date theDate = new Date();
System.out.println("The time is" +theDate);
}
 
Code:
class test extends java.util.TimerTask{

	public test(java.util.Timer t){
		t.schedule(this, 5 * 60 * 1000);
	}
	public void run(){
		showTime();
	}

	public void showTime()
	{
		 Date theDate = new Date();
		 System.out.println("The time is" +theDate);
	}
}
