How to handle Timers correctly in Java?

Question

I want my timer to execute the actionPerformed method only one time once it 5 seconds the time but it is writing in the console \"Hello\" lots of times:

import j         


        

Answer 1

class MyTask extends TimerTask {
    public void run() {
      System.out.println("Hello");

    }
  }

and then

timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new MyTask(), 5000);
