Answer 1

It looks ok. Depending on what you're doing, you may want to keep executor service around as a member so you can use it again. Also, you can get a ScheduledFuture back from the scheduleXX() methods. This is useful because you can call get() on it to pull any exceptions that occur in the timed thread back to your control thread for handling.
