Prevent exiting scheduled task

Question

I have java console application what will run as daemon where I want to use Timer.schedule to execute task every n seconds.

Timer timer = new Timer(true);
timer.schedule(new ATask(), 0,10000);   
//insert block here     

What is the best way to "block" from exiting?

Answer 1

try Thread#join() your current Thread.

Timer timer = new Timer(true);
timer.schedule(new ATask(), 0,10000); 
Thread currentThread = Thread.currentThread();
currentThread.join();
