How do I cap my framerate at 60 fps in Java?

Question

I am writting a simple game, and I want to cap my framerate at 60 fps without making the loop eat my cpu. How would I do this?

Answer 1

Timer is inaccurate for controlling FPS in java. I have found that out second hand. You will need to implement your own timer or do real time FPS with limitations. But do not use Timer as it's not 100% accurate, and therefore cannot execute tasks properly.
