Incrementing a value in a JTextField with a timer

Question

How do I go about making a timer that will increment the time in a JFormattedTextField?

Answer 1

Look at http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/Timer.html

This lets you execute an ActionListener repeatedly in the Swing event thread with a specified delay.

The just get and set the value from the textfield.

Edit: not a Runnable but an ActionListener
